 Biographical Note

Ellen Winston was born in Bryson City, North Carolina, on August 15, 1903. She received her bachelor's degree from Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1924. She graduated from the University of Chicago with a master's degree in 1928 and a Ph.D. in 1930. She taught social science and served as the Dean of Girls in the Raleigh City Schools. She also served as the head of the Department of Economics and Sociology at Meredith College from 1940-1944 and was a visiting professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She also worked as a social economist and technical editor for the Works Progress Administration during the 1930's.

In 1944, she was appointed Commissioner of Public Welfare for the State of North Carolina. She held this position until January 1963, when she was appointed as the first U.S. Commissioner of Welfare in the newly created Department of Health, Education and Welfare. She is credited with combining a number of fragmented public welfare programs at the time into one one cohesive unit as well as introducing progressive initiatives in federally aided programs of public assistances, medical assistance, and child health and welfare services. Her beliefs in public welfare were incorporated into important governmental legislation including the Medicaid program. She resigned from her position in 1967 and returned to Raleigh to devote her life full time in the area of social welfare.

Dr. Winston has written and co-authored numerous publications including Seven Lean Years (1939), The Plantation South (1940), and Foundations of American Population Policy (1940) as well as many other professional articles. Her husband, Dr. Sanford Winston, was head of the Department of Sociology at North Carolina State University for many years until he passed way in 1969.

She passed away on June 19, 1984 at her home in Raleigh, North Carolina.
