Elisabeth Woodbridge Morris (1870-1964) was born in New York. After attending school at Packer Collegiate Institute of Brooklyn, she attained an A. B. degree from Vassar College in 1892. By 1908, Elisabeth was one of the first women to receive a PhD from Yale University. Later, she taught English at both the Packer Collegiate Institute and Vassar. John William Leonard's book Woman's Who's Who of America lists some of her hobbies as "all-out hunting, fishing, rowing, tennis and tramping. " It also notes that she supported women's suffrage. These interests are explored in her personal writing. She was influenced by her paternal ancestor, Reverend Jonathan Edwards, and often reflected and wrote about him. Two of her collections of essays focus around him: Jonathan Papers (1912) and More Jonathan Papers (1915).
