My great aunt did a masters and a phd at Harvard in the mid-> late 70s. So many pics like this at her home. Thanks for this post!

Wow; your great-aunt was a badass. If I had an aunt like this, she would be sick of me because I would be constantly up in her house, asking her questions about her life.

Lol, she raised me for many years and we actually called her Mommy growing up. She did her undergraduate in Africa then went to Boston for further studies, in the 70s! I learned so much just from reading through her library when I was older. Some books aren’t even in print anymore.
