Sallie Brooke Capps tirelessly advocated for better academic opportunities for young women and children in North Texas during the Progressive Era. At a time when women seldom held leadership positions and instead trained to lead lives as domestic household managers, Capps found a way to combine both. As president of the Fort Worth Kindergarten Association, Capps established a renowned teaching college and supported a large number of women in their award-winning classroom careers. During her tenure as vice president of the Texas Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Association chapter in Dallas, Capps forged lifelong connections and fought hard to persuade the State Legislature to fund after-school programs for adolescents. At the College of Industrial Arts in Denton where she served on the Board of Regents for 18 gilded years, Capps played an instrumental role in restructuring the curriculum and expanding the campus's physical plant; owing to Capps's passionate efforts, this institution soon became the largest state-supported university primarily for women in the United States. Moreover, Capps reared three children, provided assistance in her husband's professional endeavors, and presided over operations at the celebrated Queen Anne's House on Penn Street in Fort Worth. This study—crafted by an education enthusiast—attempts for the first time to analyze Sallie Capps's historical relevance in Texas's rich history.
