泰瑞是第一位從美國大學畢業的具有非洲血統的美國女性。她就讀於俄亥俄州的歐柏林大學 (Oberlin
College) ，這是第一所接受婦女入學，同時也是前十所接受所有種族學生的學校之一。泰瑞於1888年在這裡取得了她的碩士學位，也開始了她的教職生涯。在她嫁給一位叫作羅伯特‧泰瑞 (Robert
Terrell) 的華盛頓執業律師後，她開始活躍於爭取投票權運動，並且為了婦女，尤其是非裔美籍婦女應享有投票權而大聲疾呼。
Terrell was one of the first American women of African descent to graduate from college. She attended Oberlin College in Ohio, America's first college to admit women and among the first to admit students of all races. She earned her master's degree from Oberlin in 1888 and began her career as a teacher. After her marriage to Washington lawyer Robert Terrell, she became active in the suffrage movement, speaking out for women's right to vote, particularly on behalf of African-American women.
