Augusta Lewis Troup

She was adopted by Isaac Gager, a wealthy Wall Street broker,[2] and received a private education before attending the Brooklyn Heights Seminary.

She also wrote articles for The Revolution, a suffragist publication run by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Organizing a women's labor union allowed her to champion efforts to advocate for better working conditions and fair pay.

[2] Augusta Lewis Troup began to teach in the New Haven school system and joined the Board of Education to advocate for teachers' rights.

Her broad sympathies and unfailing kindness helped us greatly when we most needed wise counsel and loyal friendship.
