Summary
Studying with her brother at home, Maria Martin Bachman learned enough "to draw the botanical backgrounds for many of Audubon's famous bird paintings." Almira Hart Lincoln Phelps taught science in a women's seminary, "and, at the urging of her students, sought admittance to the Rensselaer School in Troy." Louisa Allen Gregory developed a "domestic science" curriculum at the University of Illinois which was the forerunner for the home economics movement in America. Florence Bascom "was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Science from Johns Hopkins, and she went on to teach geology at Bryn Mawr."--Jacket.
