Bozeman, Adda B. (Adda Bruemmer), 1908-

Adda von Bruemmer Bozeman (1908-1994) studied at the Universities of Berlin and Heidelberg, the Interpreter's College in Mannheim, Germany, the ?́?Section Diplomatique, Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques?́₊ in Paris, and the Academy of International Law, The Hague. Accepted to the Middle Temple Inn of Court in London, Bozeman passed the bar examination in 1935 and was admitted to the English Bar. She worked for the Huberich firm as an interpreter and translator in various European cities and practiced law in London, The Hague, and Berlin. In 1936, the Huberich firm sent her to the United States and, in the following year, she graduated from Southern Methodist University Law School in Dallas, Texas, with a Doctorate of Law. She married her first husband, Virgil Bozeman, in 1937; their daughter, Anya, was born in 1941. When the Texas Supreme Court denied Bozeman's application for a law license, interrupting her career as an attorney specializing in private international law, she shifted to teaching history, law and international relations. Although Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois hired her during the early 1940s as a non-tenure track Associate Professor of History, Bozeman continued to seek permanent employment. In 1947, Sarah Lawrence College employed Bozeman as Professor of International Relations, a position she held until 1977. Adda and Virgil Bozeman divorced in 1947 and Adda and Anya moved to Bronxville, New York. In 1951, Bozeman married her second husband, Dr. Arne Barkhuus, who worked for the World Health Organization. She retired from Sarah Lawrence at the mandatory retirement age in 1977. Upon her retirement, Bozeman increased her involvement in academic, political and governmental organizations. Bozeman continued to influence public policy until her death.
