Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug. 29, 1900. Two years after she entered high school, her father died. Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her family’s 10 children. Warren describes herself as “a person who always liked school” , and she says the move “broke my heart completely because I couldn’t finish high school. ”

　　In the end, however,

　　“I went to school nights, ” she recalls. “Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching, I was there. ”

　　A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.

　　Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her savings to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.

　　Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.

　　In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End. ”

　　When she returned home, she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy, sociology and Chinese history.
