Sophie Wentz Sosnowski (April 23, 1809 – July 17, 1899) was an American educator who founded schools in the 19th century for the education of young women. "The Home School" that she established in Athens, Georgia, became particularly well known in the South. Her fortitude during the Union occupation of Columbia, South Carolina, saved the buildings of the Barhamville Institute from the widespread fires. "Added to unusual natural artistic and musical gifts ... her lofty character, pure ideals, abhorrence of the insincere and the false, made her a person whose impress upon young people was above the price of rubies."[1]
