Jill Kerr Conway is a noted historian, past president of Smith College (1975-1985), professor at MIT and an authority on the status of women, their histories (many “forgotten” women), and world traveler for her authentic research and speaking engagements. She began her investigations long before others were interested in finding inspiring women, and her memoirs are the heart of most women’s history courses (three books).
