Ladd received her B.S. degree in psychology from Howard University in 1953 and her Ph.D. degree in social psychology from the University of Rochester in 1958. She taught in Istanbul, Turkey before returning to the United States and to a position at Harvard University. In 1977, Ladd left Harvard and went into academic administration at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Wellesley College before serving as director of the Bunting Institute at Radcliffe College, the preeminent center for advanced studies for women in the world. In 1996, Ladd wrote her first novel, Sarah's Psalm. A year later, she retired from Radcliffe.
