“Louise Pound, a Woman Ahead of Her Time.”Emma Louise Pound (1872–1958), known as Louise Pound, was a remarkable Nebraskan who broke barriers and set new standards for women during the restrictive Victorian Era. A University of Nebraska English professor for 50 years, Pound was also an accomplished scholar, folklorist, linguist, author, musician, and championship athlete in tennis, golf, cycling, and basketball.
An early advocate for women’s rights and equal opportunities, Pound dedicated her life to uplifting students and colleagues while preserving Nebraska’s native folklore. Her story is one of courage, intellect, and trailblazing determination.
This engaging presentation, by Debra White, will guide audiences through Pound’s extraordinary life and lasting legacy.
