She was a member of the faculty of Chicago Musical College, Department of Dramatic Art,[1] and for 17 years, served as the school's dean of women.

[1] On December 12, 1891, in Boone County, Illinois, she married William Cordova Linderman,[6] a highly educated man.

One day, she saw a copy of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo's The Angels' Kitchen, which made her understand that it was not what we do in life, but how we do it that counts.

[1] Although she placed home life above all else, Linderman became a student-traveler, visiting the leading art and literary centers of Europe.

Flooded with memories of her early years as a housewife, Linderman purchased a copy of this picture, and hung it in her kitchen back home as a constant reminder that the dignity of all labor consists in your attitude.

She joined the faculty of the Chicago Musical College as Director of Public Speaking, Psychology and Self-development; she also served as dean of women.

[1] Linderman was a member of Poetry Lovers of America; Illinois Woman's Press Association; Allied Arts of Chicago; Rockford Mendelssohn Club; and she served as vice-president of The Literary Association of America, of which the American Poetry Magazine was the official organ.

[2] When free from professional duties, Linderman spent time at her country home, "Lilac Lodge", in Marengo, Illinois.

Surrounded by beautiful grounds, which showed her skill in English landscape gardening; this retreat became a place for rest.
