"Mary S. Hartman has been a pioneering historian, a founder of women's history...." -- Catharine R. Stimpson, New York University
Mary S. Hartman is university professor and director of the Institute for Women's Leadership, a consortium of six units based on the Douglass campus. From the early seventies, she joined in creating one of the nation's first Women's Studies programs at Douglass, and in 1973 co-organized the first Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, which has since become the largest inter-disciplinary forum for scholarship in the field.
In 1982, after a year as acting dean of Douglass College, Hartman was appointed dean of the college, serving until December 1994. In that capacity she launched several new programs, including the New Jersey Women of Achievement (with the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs), the Laurie New Jersey Chair in Women's Studies, the Douglass Project for Rutgers Women in Math, Science and Engineering, the Bunting-Cobb Math and Science Residence Hall, the "Global Village"?relocating the college's language and cultural houses together and creating an international certificate program, the Shaping a Life mission course, and the Institute for Women's Leadership consortium.
Since 1995, as director of the Institute for Women's Leadership, Hartman has overseen the development of the consortium in its new headquarters. Activities have included the creation of the Leadership Scholars Certificate Program for undergraduates, editing and introducing the Institute's signature publication Talking Leadership: Conversations with Powerful Women, teaching and lecturing widely inside and beyond Rutgers, and writing a book-length manuscript The Household and the Making of History: A Subversive View of the Western Past. She has also helped raise funds for IWL activities, including a recent half-million dollar challenge grant from the Ford Foundation. She serves on the board of the Peddie School in Hightstown and the National Council for Research on Women in New York, a consortium of 95 members nation-wide. Hartman has received numerous awards and an honorary degree from Centenary College.
