There have been Peckhams in New England since the 17th Century, including Contents and a Freelove or two, but TIME'S Content Peckham is a native New Yorker (New Rochelle). We first caught sight of her in 1930, after she was graduated from Bryn Mawr, when she applied for a researcher's job. She was told to get some experience and try -again...
