    Wonderful image of a serious young women early in the century. I love the walrus (or part of him) on the wall in the background. Do you think this was in the SI or at Berkeley? www.worldcat.org/title/experimental-amoebiasis-in-the-rab...

    Here's some information I found about her. Margaret Dora Thomson was born in January 1900, presumably in Fresno, California where she was enumerated in the 1900 census with her father Thomas Thomson (b. June 1866 in Scotland) and her mother Janet (Beaton) Thomson (b. June 1868 in Scotland) Her father was a foreman in a vineyard.
