![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mary Allsebrook's lighthearted and extremely readable account of her mother's extraordinary experiences shows Harriet Boyd to be truly one of America's pioneers. Born to Rebel: The Life of Harriet Boyd Hawes (1992), written by her daughter, Mary Allsebrook. While the past and its arts were her profession, the present and the future were her passionate interest - whether local social problems in her home town of Boston or international affairs which took her to lunch with Mrs Roosevelt at the White House. While prominent as a lecturer and teacher, archaeology was only a part of her life: in 1897 she was nursing with the Red Cross in the Greco-Turkish war, in 1915 she was nursing Serbian typhoid victims on Corfu, and by 1917 she was in Northern France setting up a rehabilitation center within sound of the front. She was the first woman to lecture to the Archaeological Instituite of America - ten times in fourteen days in January 1902.
