Preferred term

Elizabeth M. Altmaier  

Definition

  • Elizabeth Mitchell Altmaier, a native New Yorker, was born in 1952 to a father who was an engineer and a mother who was a homemaker. Unlike her brothers, for whom working careers were simply an expected eventuality, Altmaier was encouraged by the urgings she received during her educational experiences to explore her potential as a student and professional and to do so beyond the limited traditional venues open to women at that time—teaching and nursing. [Source: Encyclopedia of Counseling; Altmaier, Elizabeth M.]
