A Legacy of Guidance

A Legacy of Guidance and Support

Margaret Fitzgerald worked as a secretary in the physics department at Mount Holyoke College. Decades ago, as the field was dominated by men, Margaret dedicated herself to guiding and supporting the female students. She meant so much to these students that, even as they went on to prestigious schools and noteworthy careers, they kept in touch and credited her with their success.
