- Jeannette Eaton was born in Columbus, Ohio. In 1908, she received a bachelor's degree from Vassar College and then earned a master's degree from Ohio State University. She supported women's rights and gave her first public women's suffrage speech soon after her college graduation. She co-authored, with Bertha Morton Stevens, the 1915 book Commercial Work and Training for Girls, which examined the harsh working conditions of women of the time. She also wrote at least one article for The Masses (1911-1917), the radical socialist, feminist, and free-love periodical. By the late 1920s, she was a nationally recognized writer. She worked as an editor for the children's magazine Story Parade and contributed to feminist periodicals such as the AWA Bulletin (American Woman's Association) and Woman's Journal. She also was a prolific writer of biographies for young adults, including Gandhi, Fighter Without a Sword (1950), which was named a 1951 Newbery Honor book.
