Ella Lyman Cabot (1866–1934) was an educator, author and lecturer. She was born into a prominent Unitarian family in Boston and was the fourth of seven children. Her parents, Ella (Lowell) Lyman and Arthur Theodore Lyman, owned a family estate in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Cabot was educated in Boston private schools and attended Radcliffe College as a special student from 1889 to 1891 and took graduate courses at Harvard College from 1897 to 1903.
In 1897, Cabot began her career as an educator of ethics and applied psychology. She taught at Boston private schools and at Pine Manor Junior College in Wellesley, Massachusetts as well as directed Sunday school at King's Chapel.
Cabot served on the governing boards of Radcliffe College from 1902 to 1934, and on the Massachusetts Board of Education from 1905 to 1934. Among the numerous other organizations in which she held office were the Women's Education Association of Massachusetts, the Unitarian Sunday School Association, the Unitarian Temperance Society, and the National Religious Education Association.
Cabot also published seven books on ethics and childhood education between 1906 and 1929, a privately printed three-volume biography of her parents, and many articles and pamphlets.
On October 26, 1894, she married Dr. Richard Clarke Cabot (1868–1939), physician and professor of medicine and social ethics at Harvard. The Cabots made their home first on Marlborough St. in Boston and then on Brattle Street in Cambridge. They also spent time in Cohasset, Massachusetts, and at the Cabot family house in North East Harbor, Maine, and camped on Spruce Island, Saranac, New York, during many summers. They decided to not have children.
