In 1911, Stewart was the first woman to be elected to the position of the president of the Kentucky Education Association.[1] Stewart opened Moonlight School, first in Rowan County, Kentucky and then across the United States, to educate illiterate adults at night in the schools where children studied during the day.[2]
