About Susan Cobb Milton Atkinson

Susan Cobb Milton Atkinson was an American educator who was influential in promoting education to women in Georgia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the wife of William Yates Atkinson, the Governor of Georgia from 1894 to 1898, she used her position as the state First Lady to advocate for state funding for women to attend college. After her time at Georgia College, she went into the insurance business. In her later life, Atkinson served as the postmistress in Newnan—a title bestowed upon her by President Theodore Roosevelt himself.
