Anna Pennybacker, nee Hardwicke (1861-1938), activist and author, was
born in Virginia and moved first to Kansas and then to Texas in 1878. She
married Percy V. Pennybacker in 1884 in Tyler, Texas. They had four children,
one of whom died in infancy. She lived in Tyler and Palestine and moved to
Austin in 1900 after the death of her husband. She remained there until her
death. Pennybacker wrote and published A New History of
Texas for Schools, which was adopted by the Texas Legislature for use in
public schools from 1898 through 1913. Pennybacker was also active in women's
club activities, serving as president of the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs,
and as president and then board member of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs. A pacifist and suffragist, she was involved in the Chautauqua movement
and served as a correspondent for several newspapers at the League of Nations
meetings in Geneva. She also lectured extensively across the nation.
