[edit] Early life and education
Born a Jewish agnostic[4], her father was toy maker Louis Marx. In her youth she attended the Dalton School in New York City. She studied at L'Ecole des Sciences Politiques at La Sorbonne in Paris during her junior year of college[5], and received a B.A. cum laude in Political Science from Bryn Mawr College in 1951.[6]
[edit] Career
In 1952 she was invited to the White House (through her father’s connections) where she famously asked President Eisenhower: ‘What is the meaning of our new power that is good?’[7] Since then she has written five books, delivered more than 80 keynote speeches and given more than 75 interviews. She is currently President of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, which she co-founded in 1990[8] with Sidney Lanier. Hubbard was featured in the 2006 film Entheogen: Awakening the Divine Within, a documentary about rediscovering an enchanted cosmos in the modern world.[9]
She is the subject of a biography by author Neale Donald Walsch, The Mother of Invention: The Legacy of Barbara Marx Hubbard and the Future of "YOU."[10]
[edit] Personal life
She married the artist Earl Hubbard, whom she met while in Paris, that same year. As of 2003, she is the mother of five and grandmother of six.
