Born Alice Jane Chandler Webster in Fredonia, New York in 1876, Webster came from a renowned family: her great uncle was Mark Twain, and her father was the publisher Charles Webster. She changed her name to Jean after becoming roommates with another Alice at the Lady Jane Grey School, a finishing school she attended for three years after graduating with a concentration in china painting from the Fredonia Normal School in 1894.

In 1897, at age 21, Webster entered Vassar. Webster had a wonderful time at college, and this experience supplied the material for her books such as “When Patty Went to College” and “Daddy-Long-Legs”. Declaring English as her major, Webster studied literature, wrote plays, worked and published for the college journal, edited and illustrated the yearbook.

Upon graduating from Vassar in 1901, Webster moved to New York City, where she worked as a freelance writer for various New York magazines. Her first series of short stories were compiled into Webster’s first novel, “When Patty Went to College”, published in 1903. Altogether Webster wrote eight novels, many plays and several unpublished stories. Daddy-Long-Legs, the story of an orphan who, is sponsored through college by an anonymous benefactor, was Webster’s most popular work. Webster’s works, though light and witty were subversive commentaries against the patriarchal Victorian society of the early 1900’s when women still did not have the vote. Many of Webster’s works addressed social ills of the day, such as the state of orphan asylums in the country. “Daddy-Long-Legs” directly challenged this issue; the promotion of “Daddy-Long-Legs” leagues and the sale of “Daddy-Long-Legs” dolls went towards placing orphans in suitable families.

An avid traveler, Webster visited many countries in her lifetime with her best friend, Ethelyn McKinney. Webster was secretly engaged to Ethelyn’s brother, Glenn Ford McKinney, son of the oil magnate John Luke McKinney. McKinney married Webster in 1915.

In 1916, shortly after giving birth to a daughter, Jean Webster McKinney died from complications of childbirth. She was 39, at the height of her success as a storyteller and social activist.
