Theo Kitson specialized in robust war memorials, and regiments of her bronze soldiers, musket ready, appear in over fifty public sculptures erected in various parts of the country.
Born in Brookline, Massachusetts, Ruggles studied in Paris with the painter Pascal, the sculptor Dagnan-Bouveret, and in New York with Henry Hudson Kitson, whom she married in 1893. By age nineteen, she had already won honorable mentions at the Paris Exhibition of 1889, and the Paris Salon of 1890.
