She trained at Harvard Medical School during the postwar “experimental” era, between 1945 and 1955, when women were admitted on a trial basis. In her academic roles, she led the drive to increase diversity amongst Harvard faculty and instituted a range of new initiatives to promote gender equality in career development at the school.
