Lydia Howard Huntley was born on September 1, 1791 in Norwich, Connecticut to Ezekiel and Zerviah Wentworth Huntley. She attended various local schools and female seminaries. In 1811 she opened a school for young women in Norwich. A friend of Mary Lyon's, Huntley often consulted the former for advice. In 1814 she moved to Hartford, where she ran another school, and in 1815 published her first book, entitled "Moral pieces, in prose and verse". She stopped teaching in 1819 because of her marriage to Charles Sigourney; however, she continued to write. Between 1840 and 1850 she published 14 volumes of poetry and prose. She had two children. She died on June 10, 1865 in Hartford, Connecticut.
Lydia Howard Sigourney was the most popular poet in America and the most admired American woman of her day. A native of Connecticut, she was a devoted wife and mother, and themes of domesticity, morality, and nurturing pervade her works; the moral and sentimental elements in her work contributed to a decline in popularity after her death. She was also actively involved in education and social issues, including the plight of the Native American.
