The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer is a biography written by George Herbert Palmer about his wife, Alice Freeman Palmer. Alice Freeman Palmer was a prominent educator and academic administrator in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was the first woman to be appointed president of a major university, Wellesley College, and also served as the president of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae (now the American Association of University Women). The book details Alice Freeman Palmer's life, from her childhood in Michigan to her education at the University of Michigan and later at Harvard University. It also covers her professional career, including her time as a professor at Wellesley College and her work in promoting higher education for women. In addition to her professional accomplishments, the book also explores Palmer's personal life, including her marriage to George Herbert Palmer and their travels together. The book provides a comprehensive look at the life of a pioneering woman in higher education and offers insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by women in academia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
