Item #40989 Signature. Lillien Jane MARTIN.

Signature.

One of the very first female American psychologists, Martin was denied admission by the University of Bonn because of her sex (they bestowed an honorary degree on her later); she authored a dozen books ("Salvaging Old Age" 1930, "Sweeping the Cobwebs" 1933, etc.), taught at Stanford University and headed a mental health clinic in San Francisco that pioneered the treatment of the elderly and children.
