Abbott was born in Springfield, Ohio,[3] the youngest of four children.[4][unreliable source] and brought up there by her divorced mother, née Lillian Alice Bunn (m. Charles E. Abbott in Chillicothe OH, 1886).
She took college preparatory classes and graduated in 1917.[4] She attended Ohio State University for two semesters, but left in early 1918 because her German professor was dismissed because he was a German teaching an English class.[5] Abbot wanted to take a job in journalism, but later lost interest in it and followed the path of photography because of the interaction with Eugene O’Neill after that she became attached to photography .[6] Abbott was also a well known photographer in Paris to the migrants. She became an assistant to Man Ray and Eugene Atget. She later than got a job at the WPA and photographed pictures of neighborhoods in New York City.
