What Has Changed in the Last Century
All three sketches were cut short by their 1921 date. Julia Lathrop, described by Collier's simply as head of the new Children's Bureau, was in fact the first woman ever to lead a United States federal bureau; she left the post that same year, went on to advise the League of Nations on child welfare, and died in 1932 — the bureau she built still exists, now within the Department of Health and Human Services. Collier's called Rose Hawthorne Lathrop "an American poet" and never mentions that she had by then taken vows as Mother Mary Alphonsa and founded the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who continue to run free homes for incurable cancer patients; she died in 1926 and her cause for canonization was opened in 2003, making her a Servant of God. George Parsons Lathrop, dead since 1898, is read today chiefly as Nathaniel Hawthorne's son-in-law and editor rather than as a poet in his own right.
