I am sitting here, despairingly, with four resumes of Dorothy Brady before me, which she herself prepared at different points in her career. What do they tell about her? The answer, I fear, is very little. They record her academic and professional accomplishments from the early 1920s onward—Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Reed College, Oregon; M.A., Cornell; Ph.D. in mathematics, Berkeley; home economics specialist at USDA; division chief at BLS, professorships at Illinois, Chicago, and Pennsylvania; Vice-President of the American Statistical Association and Economic History Association; Fellow of the American Statistical Association and Econometric Society; Chairman of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth; numerous scholarly publications.
