Describe Hollingworth’s work.
What will be an ideal response?
Hollingworth observed that just labeling a child as gifted was not enough, and she
worked to develop educational strategies to help teachers meet the needs of
intellectually superior children. She also argued against the idea that intelligence was
largely inherited and that women were intellectually inferior to men, arguing instead
that women reach prominent positions less often than men due to the social roles
assigned to them than to any intellectual inferiority.
