Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is.

Today in the History of Psychology (5th November 1896), Lev Semenovich Vygotsky was born. Despite his premature death at the age of just 37, Lev Vygotsky is widely considered as one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century. Drawing on a range of perspectives including Marxist thought, cultural history, evolutionary phylogeny and lifespan development, Vygotsky made a ground-breaking contribution to our understanding of the relationship between language and thought, the psychology of art, pedagogy and the psychology of play, in particular the process of self-regulation through creative play.

Included among the most memorable tributes paid to Vygotsky; Stephen Toulmin described him as 'The Mozart of Psychology' in an influential review of his key works published in The New York Review of Books and writing in his autobiography, eminent neuropsychologist Alexander Luria stated that 'Vygotsky was a genius. After more than half a century in science I am unable to name another person who even approaches his incredible analytical ability and foresight. All of my work has been no more than the working out of the psychological theory which he constructed.'

(Note: Sources drawing on the New Style (N.S.) Julian calendar record Vygotsky's date of birth as November 17th, 1896.)

Today in the History of Psychology (6th November 1874), Helen Thompson Woolley was born. A pioneering researcher in the field of sex-role stereotyping and developmental child psychology, Woolley graduated with a PhD (summa cm laude) from the University of Chicago in 1900.

A prolific writer, Woolley's most important published work included 'The Mental Traits of S*x' (1905) which not only fundamentally challenged the notion that intelligence and mental functioning in men was superior to women but also suggested that any discernible differences that did exist were the result of upbringing, not biology.

Another of Woolley's renowned publications was 'An Experimental Study of Children at Work and in School Between the Ages of Fourteen and Eighteen Years.' Published in 1926, the content and findings of this influential book were instrumental in the fight for the introduction of progressive child labor laws.
