Beard, Mary Ritter

(1876–1958) historian, social reformer; born in Indianapolis, Ind. (wife of Charles Beard). She met Charles Beard while both were students at DePauw University (Asbury, Ind.) and they married in 1900. She followed him to Oxford University, England, where she became involved in both women's suffrage and working-class education activities; on their return to the U.S.A. (1902), she began graduate school at Columbia University but dropped out in 1904 and thereafter became a self-directed scholar. (She also raised two children.) She continued to work for women's suffrage, labor reforms, and other progressive causes, but by about 1915 she began to concentrate on her writing and lecturing, specifically to bring to light women's contributions to society across the centuries. From her early work, Women's Work in Municipalities (1915), to her classic summation, Women as a Force in History (1946), she prefigured many of the themes that would be taken up by women's historians and feminists of later generations. She also collaborated with her husband on several influential volumes such as The Rise of American Civilization (1927) and The Basic History of the United States (1944). Although she managed to inject some of her own findings about women's roles into these collaborations, both this element and her own contribution tended to be overshadowed by her husband's towering reputation, and only in later decades would her own work be truly recognized.
