Life Dates
1908-2001.
Educational Information
Anastasi studied at Barnard College, and then earned her doctorate at the age of 21 from Columbia University under supervision from Henry Edward Garrett (1894-1973).
Accomplishments
Anastasi taught at Barnard College and Queens College, where she would be the psychology department's chairperson, before joining Fordham University in 1947.
