Eleanor Maccoby https://news.stanford.edu/2018/12/14/stanford-psychologist-eleanor-maccoby-dies-101/

Maccoby was the first woman to serve as chair of the Stanford Department of Psychology in the School of Humanities and Sciences, a position she held from 1973 to 1976. At Stanford, Maccoby was associated with the Center for the Study of Families, Children and Youth. Through that work, she became known for research on social and intellectual development in children. She made key contributions to understanding differences in development between girls and boys, infants’ emotional attachments and how divorce and child custody affect children.

..Maccoby later wrote The Two Sexes: Growing Up Apart, Coming Together, in 1998, which explored an intriguing paradox: Despite being separated from one another through much of their childhood, most boys and girls form heterosexual unions as adults. To better understand the paradox, Maccoby explored the ways that gender identity helps shape our lives in families, schools, relationships and the workplace.

Maccoby is survived by her three children, Janice Carmichael, Sarah Maccoby Blunt and Mark Maccoby; grandchildren Aaron Carmichael, Seth Carmichael, Rebecca Boudreaux, Laura Washington, Nathan Bellina, Eleanor N. Maccoby and Jessica Maccoby; and nine great-grandchildren.
