Mary Ingraham Bunting: Her Two Lives
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A notable twentieth-century feminist and educator, Mary Ingraham Bunting was president of Radcliffe College during the tempestuous sixties, dean of Douglass College, special assistant to the president of Princeton, and the first woman to serve on the Atomic Energy Commission. She was also a respected microbiolist who did groundbreaking research at Yale. Above all, she is important because she was one of the first to perceive, and come up with remedies for, the ways in which American society was stifling women's aspirations and thwarting their achievements.
