Theresa Schmid McMahon born 1878, died 1961. Professor McMahon
received her bachelor's degree from the University of Washington, but earned
her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1909. In 1911, she began her
teaching career at the University of Washington; where, until her retirement in
1937, she, her husband, and James Allen Smith were considered the thorns of
Liberalism in the sides of a conservative U.S. administration. Dr. McMahon was
a member of such "Radical" groups as the Socialists Society, and the Central
Labor Council. Her subject was labor economics and the status of women.
Professor McMahon lived during a very exciting time in the history of the
development of the University. Therefore, "My Story," provides an unorthodox
perspective towards events at the University.
Speeches and writings, notes, clippings, and correspondence of a
University of Washington professor of economics, reflecting her interest in
labor economics and the status of women. Includes her autobiographical sketch,
"My Story".
