Josephine Preston Peabody
(1874–1922)

Josephine Preston Peabody was born in Brooklyn, New York and lived there for ten years. She was a poet and dramatist and was greatly inspired by her parents who had a great passion for the arts. After the death of her father, her mother moved Josephine and the other children to Dorchester, Massachusetts. They experienced financial difficulty and it was only through financial aide that Peabody was able to study at Radcliffe College. She wrote a version of the myth, Icarus and Daedalus, and was best known for her poetry and plays. Her first book of poetry, The Wayfarers, was published in 1898.
