Faust succeeded Matina Horner (Bryn Mawr, ’61) as Dean of the Radcliffe Institute, and has now gone on to break the glass ceiling as the first woman president of Harvard.

Harvard’s Matina Horner publishes a study of women’s fear of success.

Again, before the women’s liberation movement in the USA, researchers such as Matina Horner even detected a ‘fear of success’ among American women who, when considering careers in ‘male’ professions, worried that they would be ostracized for succeeding in a man’s world. Such psychological sensibilities have never been a critical factor among professional women in Turkey and many other developing countries.
