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.

Her contributions to the feminist movement include the application of feminist theories in therapy and working to legitimize women's studies in the academe.
