Pauline Rose Clance: the professor from Appalachia
Article Abstract:
Pauline Rose Clance first wanted to become a lawyer. However, she shifted her focus to psychology as she sought to understand the roots of hatred and anger she had observed in racial conflicts. In her first encounters with sexism, she thought that those were unchangeable social realities. Her work in civil rights made her see otherwise. Her contributions to the feminist movement include the application of feminist theories in therapy and working to legitimize women's studies in the academe.

Feminist and activist
Article Abstract:
Parental motivation and support in scholastic achievement were the seeds of feminist activism for a woman who later became a distinguished psychologist and academician. The academe is one of the many places where sexism can both be subtle and blatant. It is therefore not so surprising that universities and colleges would become a breeding as well as a contested ground for feminists. It is a place where the chance to empower women occurs.
