During Townsley’s childhood, most of which was spent in Shelburne Falls, Mass, she endured numerous challenges. Her father died during a cholera epidemic, and her widowed mother was forced to move her children several times and to take in boarders to support the family. Despite these hardships, Townsley received an excellent public-school education. The boarders living in her home also served as informal teachers, encouraging her to read and to participate in discussions of politics, religion, history, music and literature.". Very Good+ .
