Margaret Kuenne Harlow

[3] She received her doctoral degree in psychology from the University of Iowa, where she studied Hull's theories of conditioning in children under Kenneth Spence, in 1944.

[1][3] Shortly after her arrival at the University of Wisconsin, she was recruited by Harry Harlow to run studies with children to supplement his work on learning with monkeys.

[4] She remained at the University of Wisconsin until her death, where she worked closely with Harlow, whom she married in 1948, and served as a project associate in his primate laboratory.

[3] While working with Harry Harlow at the University in Wisconsin, the two gradually developed affections for each other, and married on February 3, 1948 in Anamosa, Iowa.

She continued to work for several more years, citing a desire to teach as a full professor as a driving force, but regretted that she likely would not see the results of her nuclear family monkey studies.
