Both her parents died by the time she was 8 years old. With little assistance from relatives, she was self-supporting by the age of 12. She graduated from elementary school with honors at the age of 12 and completed a high school equivalency. She earned a bachelor of arts from New York University in 1929 and a master of arts from the New York University School of Education. She conducted doctoral studies at Columbia University in the mid-1930s but never completed the degree.[2]
