BIO
MARGARET GRUNDSTEIN was raised in Detroit, attended the University of Michigan and then headed east, first to Goddard College for a Bachelor’s in History and then to Yale for a Master’s in Urban Planning. After graduating in 1970, Margaret dropped out to live communally in the woods of Oregon, an adventure she writes about in her memoir, Naked in the Woods; My Unexpected Years in a Hippie Commune, published by Oregon State University Press in 2015. Five years later, having dropped back in, Margaret created a niche that fit her life as a single parent, the owner/director of a preschool in Venice, California which she still runs today. Margaret also has a private practice as a psychotherapist in Los Angeles.
