Florence Scovel Shinn

(1871-1940)

Florence Scovel Shinn was a woman ahead of her time. To many, she is considered to be among the likes of James Allen, the author of "As a Man Thinketh", Wallace D. Wattles, the author of "The Science of Getting Rich" and Napoleon Hill who wrote the classic "Think and Grow Rich".

Miss Shinn was an artist, an author and a metaphysics teacher in New York in the early part of the 20th century. Her books are remarkable and revolutionary in her times. They are profound, full of wisdom and have inspired thousands of people for several decades.

She was an outstanding proponent of the power of thoughts.

She taught that life is a game and in order to play it well, one must learn to understand the universal laws that govern it. She showed her students and readers how to win health, prosperity and happiness by mastering the game. By sharing real-life stories, she illustrates how positive attitudes and affirmations invariably succeed in making one a winner in life - able to control life's conditions and release abundance through knowledge of spiritual law.

Florence Scovel Shinn had the ability to explain her success principles and how they work in an entertaining and easy-to-read style. She can be considered one of last century's most popular success teachers.

Florence Scovel Shinn was born on September 24, 1871, in Camden, New Jersey to Alden Cortlandt Scovel and Emily Hopkinson. She had an older sister and a younger brother.

Florence was educated at Friends Central School in Philadelphia. She later studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 1889 to 1897. While there, she met Everett Shinn, a painter of impressionistic canvases and realistic murals. They married shortly after Florence graduated from the art academy.

The Shinns moved to New York where both pursued their separate careers, Everett in the theatre while Florence did illustrations for children's literature in magazines and books.

In 1925, Florence decided to publish her first book "The Game of Life and How to Play It". After unsuccessfully finding a publisher for her work, she published it herself. Her second book, "Your Word is Your Wand" followed in 1928 and her final book "The Secret Door to Success" was published in 1940 shortly before her death on October 17, 1940. A fourth book, "The Power of the Spoken Word" is a compendium of her notes, gathered by one of her students and published posthumously in 1945.
