Elizabeth Pool

Elizabeth Pool graduated from a prep school in New York and was headed to Vassar, but she made a proposition to her father: Could she go to the Orient instead, spending four months in the Pacific and end up in Japan? In the early 1930s, this was no ordinary request, particularly with a proposed female companion. Her father, an Englishman, gave his consent, for he had spent his young adulthood as part of the British Raj in India, which persuaded him towards the education value of travel. On her return, instead of entering Vasser, she got married. Over the ensuing years, she went through half a dozen colleges while also becoming a wife and mother.

Pool spent 16 years writing a three-volume world history of mankind, Prologue to the Present in the ‘80s. Other published works are Unicorn Was There and The Unexpected Messiah, both published in the ‘60s.

During the ‘40s, Pool became Vice President of the Board of Trustees of Bard College, which had just broken away from Columbia University. She also served as a delegate to the first convention of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, Chicago, 1969, which initiated the landmark Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade.

Through the years, Pool has been a lecturer, both paid and unpaid, on a variety of subjects. She likes to write, produce, design, and direct pageants.

Pool currently resides in Dublin, New Hampshire.
