Lollie Belle Moore Wylie is a recognizable mentor for Georgia women. Her story is one of turning personal loss and adversity into inspiration. She is remembered for her creative contributions through journalism, poetry, music, and environmental projects.
Her roles both as a mother and a professional writer reflect her belief that a woman can make a difference in her community by giving something back.
Annie Hornady Howard in her book entitled Georgia Homes and Notable Georgians said: “Her interest in women and their work was always uppermost in her heart and she was never too busy to lend a helping hand to some beginner in the field of Journalism.”
