Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, Bird Stein Gans (1868-1944) received her education at Columbia University, the New School for Social Research, and New York University. At the age of twenty, Gans joined several women in the formation of the Society for the Study of Child Nature, the first organization in the United States to focus on the field of parent education. In 1897, Gans served as president of the Society and continued her involvement throughout her life and the organization’s various name changes, including the Federation for Child Study in 1898 and the Child Study Association of America in 1924. Gans traveled around the world to further parent education, organizing parent education associations in Japan (1924) and England (1929).</div>
