Abstract: This is the second in a series of articles exploring the lives of a small group of women who played pivotal roles in the events leading to the birth of the American Center for the Alexander Technique (ACAT). The first article in this series [“Connected Lives,” AmSAT Journal No.17 (Fall 2020)] was devoted to Ethel Webb, who taught on Alexander’s practice in New York from 1914 to 1922 and participated in the training of Frank Pierce Jones. This piece centers on Margaret Naumburg, an American psychologist who brought Alexander to America, introduced him to John Dewey, and began a train of events that led to the founding of ACAT.
