High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sara Yorke Stevenson (Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson) (February 19, 1847 ? November 14, 1921) was a prominent American archaeologist and female rights activist. Sara?s parents were Edward and Sarah Hanna Yorke, Louisiana natives who moved to Paris during the 1840's. They both came from aristocratic families, her mother's family owned a large cotton plantation, and her father was a cotton broker. Sara?s parents moved back to the States when she was only ten, leaving their daughters to attend boarding school in France. She stayed in Paris from 1858 through 1862 attending school, after which she joined her family in Mexico, where they had moved because of some investments of her fathers. In Mexico she attended many social gatherings of the newly appointed Empress of Mexico Charlotte of Belgium and her husband Maximilian. Her first hand account of the Second Mexican Empire gave great incite to the inner workings of court life during that time. In1867 the family relocated to Vermont during some violence in Mexico. Stevenson's father died only a year later and not long after that she moved to Philadelphia to live with two uncles and an aunt.
