Judith Rich Harris
Judith Rich Harris was born in 1938 and had a nomadic childhood before settling in Tucson.
She graduated from Brandeis University and earned a master's degree from Harvard.
Harris worked in psychology-related positions before chronic illness led her to focus on writing.
She co-authored developmental psychology textbooks and later developed her own theory of child development.
This led to her controversial book "The Nurture Assumption" and its follow-up "No Two Alike." Despite health challenges, Harris received awards for her work, including the George A. Miller Award and the David Horrobin Prize for Medical Theory.
