Early life and education

Sutherlin began her career in education at the Miller Manual School in Crozet, Virginia.[14] In June 1905, she became a teaching assistant in the English Department of the State Teacher's College in Farmville, Virginia.[15] In the summers of 1910, she taught English and literature at the State Teacher's College [16] She also was a faculty member of the Covington State Summer School for Teachers in the summer of 1915.[17][18] She taught summer school at the Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1916.[19] She also taught at the State Teacher's College summer school in 1917, 1919, and 1920.[11][20][21] She also taught at Sullins College in Bristol, Virginia.[2][8]

In 1920, she left the State Teacher's College to teach in Dallas, Texas.[21] The next year, she was the head of the English department of Chatham Episcopal Institute (now Chatham Hall) in Chatham, Virginia.[12] In June 1922, she was appointed head of the English department of the Alabama Girls’ Technical Institute and College for Women, starting with the 1922–23 academic year.[12][22] In the fall of 1924, she was again a faculty member with the State Teacher's College in Farmville.[23] She took a leave of absence in 1926 to attend graduate school.[13] She returned to the college in the fall of 1926.[13]
