Hi Clifford. You ask, "What are the historical sites at Radcliffe that one would visit to learn about MPF? What would you visit to trace her steps?" I've uploaded a photo of a 1905 post card of Radcliffe Yard. It looks very similar today. I think you might enjoy going into the Schlesinger Library, which features the contributions of women to the world. Ask if you can look at the Mary Parker Follett papers and those of her good friend, Ella Lyman Cabot. The librarians should be able to help you choose the right boxes and folios. There are letters from Dame Katharine Furse to Ella Lyman Cabot written right after Mary died. Very touching and illuminating. The Radcliffe Librarians should be able to help you locate the places where classes were held, where the young women gathered, studied, etc. I do hope the post card comes out. If not, email me at :albiedavis@aol.com and I will send it your way. Warmly, Albie in cold Maine, USA.
