Biography[edit]
Gilbreth was born in Oakland, California on May 24, 1878. She was the second of ten children of William Moller, a builder's supply merchant, and Annie Delger. Both parents were of German descent. She was educated at home until she was nine years old, when her formal schooling began at a public elementary school, where she was required to start from the first grade (although she was rapidly promoted through the grades).[2] She attended Oakland High School, where she was elected vice president of her senior class; she graduated with exemplary grades in May 1896.[3]
Gilbreth started college at the University of California, Berkeley shortly after, commuting by streetcar from her parents' Oakland home.[4] She graduated from the University of California in 1900 with a bachelor's degree in English literature and was the first female commencement speaker at the university.[5] She originally pursued her master's degree at Columbia University, where she was exposed to the subject of psychology through courses under Edward Thorndike.[6] However, she became ill and returned home, finishing her master's degree in literature at the University of California in 1902. Her thesis was on Ben Jonson's play Bartholomew Fair.[7]
She met her future husband Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Sr. in June 1903 in Boston, Massachusetts, and married him on October 19, 1904, in Oakland. Gilbreth completed a dissertation and attempted to obtain a doctorate from the University of California in 1911, but was not awarded the degree due to noncompliance with residency requirements for doctoral candidates; this dissertation was later published as The Psychology of Management.[8] Instead, since her immediate family had relocated to New England by this time, she attended Brown University and earned a Ph.D in 1915, having written a second dissertation on efficient teaching methods called ome Aspects of Eliminating Waste in Teaching.[9] It was the first degree granted in industrial psychology.
She died on January 2, 1972 in Phoenix, Arizona.[10]
