==Early life and education==
Born May 23, 1869 in Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York, Ward was the third of three daughters of Eliza Draper and Abraham Ward, both of whom were of mixed African-American and Montaukett descent. Ward's mother died when she was about nine months old, and her father moved with the family to Providence, Rhode Island. When her father remarried there, he gave young Olivia to her mother's sister Maria Draper for care, who reared Olivia as her own.〔(Tonya Bolden, "Olivia Ward Bush" ), ''Biographies'', New York Public Library, accessed May 8, 2010〕 She attended local schools in Providence, and studied nursing in high school. She also became interested in drama and poetry.〔("Olivia Ward Bush Banks" ), ''Encyclopedia of World Biography'', Supplement, accessed May 9, 2010〕
