- Description
- At age twenty-seven Alice Freeman became the world's first female college president (at Wellesley College). Before going on to become one of the founding deans of the University of Chicago, she married the Harvard philosophy professor George H. Palmer in 1887. A full generation before most educated women began to dream of combining marriage and professional work, George and Alice together tried to create a new type of union that would make satisfying careers possible for both partners.
