Sarah Pierce
American, 1767 - 1852
According to needlework historian Betty Ring, Miss Pierce had little talent for needlework, but wrote plays for her students and published a history textbook. She probably instructed students in needlework and painting in her early years, before another teacher took over needlework instruction in the later years of the Litchfield Female Academy.
