http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Library/Archives/WAuthors/prouty/bio.html
Prouty was born in Worcester in 1882 to Katherine Chapin and Milton Prince Higgins, who would raise one of Worcester’s most prominent, and one of Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s most important, families. The Higgins family residence was at the corner of West Street and Salisbury Street, where WPI’s Goddard Hall now stands. Prouty spent most of her childhood deeply connected to WPI as her father was superintendent of the Washburn shops and supervised its very construction. Milton and Katherine Higgins had four children in total, all of whom would go on to make generous contributions to WPI, including Higgins Laboratories, Higgins House, Sanford Riley Hall, a scholarship, and a library fund. Milton Higgins was not only prominent in the development of WPI, but he was also an entrepreneur, buying the Norton Emery Wheel Co. with George Alden in 1885 and serving as its president until his death in 1912.
Prouty’s mother was also an active member of the growing Worcester community. Katherine was the superintendent of the Sunday school at the First Congregational Church and insisted upon Olive joining the church at age thirteen. Katherine was also the founder of the Parent Teachers Association, having spoken in many states for the PTA throughout her lifetime.
Prouty was close to her parents despite their busy professional lives, and speaks of her time in Worcester and at WPI with great fondness. Though she had an early interest in rhyme, Prouty did not have much early success at school, and the anxiety that resulted was a precursor to nervous troubles that would come later in her life.

Olive Higgins Prouty
Olive Higgins Prouty (1882-1974) was an American novelist, most active in the period between the First and Second World Wars. In this interval between women's suffrage and women's liberation, when few openly questioned the notion that a woman's fulfillment is to be found in a subordinate role, Prouty insisted on the importance, for women as well as for men, of independent judgment, freedom from illusion, and full personal responsibility for one's actions. Her stories depict the struggles of American women to achieve a life of integrity despite the stifling triviality of the social roles allotted to them. Of her ten novels, the best known are Stella Dallas (1923) and Now, Voyager (1941).
Olive Higgins was the youngest child of a well-to-do family in Worcester, Massachusetts. Her family's social life revolved around the conservative, evangelical Congregational church, where her strong-willed mother was superintendent of the Sunday school. Although she admitted to religious doubts and answered, " I guess so," when the minister asked if she believed in Jesus Christ, her family insisted that she join the church at the socially sanctioned age of thirteen. She was left with a painful sense of the discrepancy between the fervent language she heard in church and the shallowness of spiritual experience deemed acceptable for membership.
From the time she was in high school, Olive dreamed of becoming a writer. After graduating from Smith College in 1904, she wished to earn her own living, but bowed to family pressure to return home. Courted by Lewis Prouty, the older brother of a college friend, she feared that marriage would mean the end of her hopes for a career of her own. Lewis, however, turned out to be supportive of Olive's ambition; he suggested that she take writing courses at Radcliffe and introduced her to the editor who accepted her first stories. Olive and Lewis were married in 1907.
