Elga Ruth Wasserman (née Steinherz; June 30, 1924 – November 11, 2014) guided the transformation of Yale College from an all-male undergraduate college into a coeducational institution. She held the newly created position of special assistant to the president of Yale University on the education of women (1968–1972). She became a proponent of equal rights for women during Second-wave feminism and after. Later, Wasserman practiced law, specializing in family law, and advocated policies friendly to women and minorities in the workplace. She wrote The Door in the Dream (published by the National Academy of Sciences 2000), highlighting eminent female scientists through interviews and discussion. Source: Wikipedia (en)
