Born August 27, 1931, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "Dorie" was the son of Theodore Wood and Jessica H. (Merrick) Friend. He earned a Williams College B.A. in 1953, and a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1958. In 1960, Friend married Elizabeth Pierson, and they had three children; she died in 2003.

Barbara Presseisen was hired by Swarthmore College as a Lecturer in the Education Program in September 1970, but was not reappointed for the 1972-1973 academic year. Alleging that the renewal was based solely on her sex, Presseisen filed a violation of her rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights act of 1964. A class action was added and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) joined in 1976. At the trial, held in 1977, the court ruled in favor of the defendant, Swarthmore College. Presseisen and the EEOC appealed the decision in 1978, but the appellate court affirmed the lower court's decision.
