Biographical Note:
Frances Cooke Macgregor studied at the University of California (B.A., 1927) and the University of Missouri (M.A., 1947). She carried out additional studies at Columbia University. In 1949-1952, she was a research associate of the New York University College of Medicine, and in 1954-1968, a visiting professor at Cornell University-New York University Hospital School of Nursing. In 1968, she became a research associate of the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at the New York University Medical Center, and in 1970 she became a clinical associate professor of surgery there.
Macgregor was a pioneer in using the concepts of anthropology and sociology in dealing with medical patients. In particular, she became an authority in treating patients suffering facial disfigurements. Her master's thesis was on "The Sociological Aspects of Facial Deformities," and following its completion, she planned and directed the Plastic Surgery Research Project at the New York College of Medicine. Later, she taught at the New York Hospital-Cornell Nursing School.
In addition, Frances Cooke Macgregor was an accomplished photographer who took many photographs of American Indians. In seeking to publish her photographs, a publisher linked them to a text by Eleanor Roosevelt in a book entitled Twentieth Century Indians. In part because of this, she became an associate of Margaret Mead in interpreting Mead photographs in Growth and Culture: A study of Balinese Childhood, 1951.
