Abstract

During the first 30 years of the 20th Century, many scholars agree that Cora Wilson Stewart was the most widely known authority of adult literacy in the world. By establishing the Moonlight Schools in Rowan County Kentucky in 1911, she rose to prominence as a well-regarded advocate for promoting literacy and adult education. Stewart frequently held viewpoints which ran counter to the mindset of educators in the 1920s and 1930s. Wilson was ahead of her time in many aspects of promoting literacy in an era largely before adult education was widely recognized.
