The ' Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne', a
Roman Catholic order of nuns under the authority of the
Dominican Order, were founded on
December 8,
1900 by
Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, daughter of
Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Early in life, Rose Hawthorne married
George Parsons Lathrop. After his death in 1889, she chose to join herself to the church and founded the order as Mother Mary Alphonsa.
Alice Huber was one of the first to join Lathrop in this effort.
