Early life and education

Lanman was born in New London, Connecticut, the daughter of Jonathan (or John) Trumbull Lanman and Charlotte Elizabeth Stilwell Lanman. Her uncle Charles Rockwell Lanman was a professor of Sanskrit at Harvard University. She graduated from Ohio State University in 1903. She earned a second bachelor's degree from Teachers College, Columbia University in 1907.

Gorrell taught school in Florida as a young woman. She was appointed director of domestic science in the Columbus public schools in 1907. She worked on food conservation projects for the Ohio State College of Agriculture during World War I.
