Mary Alexander "Molly" Yard (July 6, 1912 September 21, 2005) was an American feminist of the late 20th century, who, through service as an assistant to Eleanor Roosevelt in the middle of the century and later work as a U.S. administrator, social activist, and feminist who served as National Organization for Women (NOW)'s eighth president from 1987 to 1991, connected first with second-wave feminism. Yard was born in Chengdu, Sichuan province, China, the daughter of Methodist missionaries. She graduated in 1933 from Swarthmore College, a coeducational college that was also the alma mater of Alice Paul. While at Swarthmore, she led a successful drive to eliminate the sorority system after a Jewish student was denied admission to the sorority to which Yard belonged, Kappa Alpha Theta. In 1938, Yard married Sylvester Garrett, a union that lasted until his death in 1996.
