Biography

Cornelia James was raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota and was a graduate of Radcliffe College.[1] She was married to Walter Bradford Cannon, a professor at Harvard University.[3] She was the mother of Marian Cannon Schlesinger, an author and artist.

Cannon was a progressive thinker and an advocate for women's rights, birth control, and public education.[1] She wrote eight novels in total as well as numerous essays on controversial topics such as women's rights, birth control, and immigration policy.[1] Cannon was active with Planned Parenthood, the League of Women Voters, and a local political association in Massachusetts.[4]

In 2011, Maria I. Diedrich published a biography of Cannon, Cornelia James Cannon and the Future American Race, juxtaposing her life and work as a feminist reformer with her beliefs in eugenics in the context of the 1920s and 1930s.[1]
