She earned her master's degree in Art History from Radcliffe College in 1957.[2] In 1974 Tufts befriended Texas art historian Alessandra Comini,[3] they developed a shared feminist approach toward art and made a shared home together in Dallas as life partners.[4] They spent summers tracking down works by women artists, for their books to raise curatorial awareness of important works by women that had been relegated in storage.[5] CareerAfter earning her master's degree in 1957, the Council on International Educational Exchange in New York City hired her as their director of program development.{{Citation needed|date=November 2017}} She then served as associate director of World University Service, New York.
