Resumen
Eugenie A. Leonard (1888-1980) es una destacada pero desconocida figura. Profesora de Educación en la Universidad de Syracusa y en The Catholic University of America (Washington), trabajó también en ambas instituciones como Decana de Mujeres. Desde ese cargo desarrolló un programa que facilitaba el alojamiento de las mujeres y su integración en la vida universitaria en igualdad de oportunidades con los hombres. Sin embargo, sus aportaciones han pasado muy desapercibidas y no existe ningún tipo de estudio biográfico sobre ella. Es interesante analizar su trayectoria académica y su aportación a los Women’s Studies.
