Mary Emma Woolley (1863-1947) graduated from Brown in 1894 and served as president of Mount Holyoke College from 1901 to 1937.

Although she transformed Mount Holyoke into a first-rate college for women, Woolley's fifty-year partnership with Jeanette Marks offended some of Mount Holyoke's trustees. They replaced her with a male president.

For her accomplishments as a feminist, educator, and peace activist, Woolley was inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame in December 2007.
