INTERVIEW
with ELLEN MESSER-DAVIDOW
"At that time, I think, the Executive Council was reluctant to appoint anyone with low status--assistant professors, instructors, people with tenuous institutional affiliations. They wanted established people. And in those days few women were full professors, let alone any type of professor at a prestigious university."
