Millicent Carey McIntosh
Millicent Carey McIntosh (November 30, 1898 – January 3, 2001) was an educational administrator and American feminist who led the Brearley School (1930–1947), and most prominently Barnard College (1947–1962).[1] The first married woman to head one of the Seven Sisters, she was "considered a national role model for generations of young women who wanted to combine career and family," advocating for working mothers and for child care as a dignified profession.[2]
Early life
McIntosh was born in Baltimore, Maryland on November 30, 1898. Her aunt, M. Carey Thomas, was also a leader in women's education.[2]
McIntosh attended Bryn Mawr College for undergraduate, studied economics at Cambridge University, and earned an English Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University with a thesis on 14th century mystery plays.[2] She was also a teacher and acting Dean at Bryn Mawr. Later, she headed the Brearley School for seventeen years,[3] where she pioneered a sex education class for sixth grade students.[1]
Barnard career
McIntosh became Dean of Barnard College in 1947, and became the institution's first President in 1952.[4] She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1966.[5]
After Barnard, she helped to found Kirkland College in the 1960s.
