| biography:
| Authority on bridge, born in New York City, New York, USA. The first woman to play on a Vanderbilt Cup-winning team (1931), she convinced her then-husband and partner Ely Culbertson to concentrate on bridge, and helped him devise the dominant Culbertson bidding system. In 1922–30 she was reputedly the world's highest-paid bridge teacher. |
