Abstract

Recent accounts of the contributions of Leta Stetter Hollingworth to feminism and giftedness have not described her association with the development of school psychological services. Her contributions to the earliest organizations of professional psychologists and her related writing were important to the long‐term development of school and clinical psychology. Though some information has been uncovered, much remains to be learned of her contributions to the development of these professional organizations.
