Wikipedia über die Verfasserin: Catharine Drew Gilpin Faust (born September 18, 1947) is an American historian, college administrator and the President of Harvard University. Faust is the first woman to serve as Harvard's president and the university's 28th president overall. Faust is the fifth woman to serve as president of an Ivy League university and is the former dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Faust is also Harvard's first president since 1672 without an undergraduate or graduate degree from Harvard. Faust was born Catharine Drew Gilpin in New York City and raised in Clarke County, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley. She is the daughter of Catharine Ginna (née Mellick) and McGhee Tyson Gilpin, a Princeton graduate and breeder of thoroughbred horses. Her paternal great-grandfather, Lawrence Tyson, was a U.S. Senator from Tennessee during the 1920s. Faust is a descendant of the Puritan divine Rev. Jonathan Edwards, the third president of Princeton. She graduated from Concord Academy, Concord, Massachusetts, in 1964. Many of her male relatives, including her father and two of her brothers, went to Princeton University. However, Princeton did not accept female students in the 1960s, so Faust went to Bryn Mawr College instead. She earned her BA from Bryn Mawr College in 1968. She graduated magna cum laude with honors in history. She received her MA in 1971 and her Ph.D. in American Civilization with thesis, titled A Sacred Circle: The Social Role of the Intellectual in the Old South, 1840-1860, at the University of Pennsylvania in 1975. In the same year, she joined the Penn faculty as assistant professor of American civilization. Based on her research and teaching, she rose to Walter Annenberg Professor of History. A specialist in the history of the South in the antebellum period and Civil War, Faust developed new perspectives in intellectual history of the antebellum South and in the changing roles of women during the Civil War. She is the author of six books, including Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War (1996), for which she won both the Society of American Historians Francis Parkman Prize and the Avery O. Craven Award from the Organization of American Historians in 1997 and James Henry Hammond and Old South, a biography of James Henry Hammond, who was Governor of South Carolina from 1842-1844. Faust’s most recent book, This Republic of Suffering (2008), was a critically acclaimed examination of how America’s understanding of death was shaped by the high losses during the Civil War. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award (see awards below). In 2001, Faust was appointed the first dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the successor to Radcliffe Colle, DE, [SC: 3.00], deutliche Gebrauchsspuren, gewerbliches Angebot, circa 16,5 cm x 24 cm, XVIII, 346, [GW: 728g], [PU: New York], 1, Auflage, Banküberweisung, Internationaler Versand, [CT: Geschichte/Politik / 19.
