Julia Ellen Rogers, (January 21, 1866 – May 20, 1958) was an American author of natural science and educator.

Biography

Rogers was born in Minburn, Iowa in 1866, the daughter of Daniel Farrand Rogers and Ruth Dodd Llewellyn.[1] She attended Iowa State University and obtained a M.A. from Cornell University where she obtained a master's degree in botany. Before she moved to New Jersey, she taught high school in Iowa.[1]

After graduating she relocated to Long Beach, California where she lived for the rest of her life. She was a member of the Long Beach Board of Education for ten years and she was a member and national secretary of the Long Beach Park Commission. She was a member of Pi Beta Phi and Secretary of the Long Beach Ebell Club. She was an Official of the Camp Fire Girls. She was also a member of the National Green Cross, Los Angeles Friday Morning Club, College Club, Cornell University Women's Club, Phi Beta Kappa Society, and the Virginia Country Club.[1]

Rogers worked as a lecturer and wrote books on natural history. Her works were popular and some of her books were reprinted several times.[2] While her books were targeted for the general reader, some of her statements were criticised as being unscientific. One review said that in her book, Among Green Trees, she referred to trees as 'sleeping' at night or being 'drowsy' during a rainstorm.[3]

In 1911 she moved to Long Beach, California where she lived at 355 Junipero Avenue until her death at age 92.[2][1]
