Gertrude Van Wagenen (1893-1978)

    There's a brief bio and a much later photo of her at this page (scroll down, a little past half way): www.med.yale.edu/library/historical/about/founders/donors... "Gertrude Van Wagenen, a Yale research scientist, bequeathed, through her brother, Anthony van Wagenen, her marvelous collection of illustrated anatomical works as well as goiter dolls and ivory anatomical manikins. Married to Crawford F. Failey, M.D., who inherited great wealth, she began collecting on travels abroad in the 1920s. Van Wagenen obtained her Ph.D. at the University of Iowa in 1919. Beginning in 1931, commuting from her home in New York City, she established a research laboratory and colony of macaque monkeys, at Yale, and carried out pioneering research on the reproductive biology of primates. Her modest official title as Research Associate in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Lecturer in Anatomy, belied her many scientific achievements. Van Wagenen’s collection included several triple folio works such as the eighteenth-century color mezzotints of anatomies by Jacques Gautier d’Agoty." She doesn't have a Wikipedia entry. Yet.

    "Margaret Higgins Sanger (September 14, 1879 – September 6, 1966) was an American birth control activist, sex educator, and nurse. Sanger popularized the term birth control, opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger In January 1916 she was placed on trial before the United States court in New York on the charge of having sent through the mails indecent literature (about birth control), see e.g. The Evening herald., January 25, 1916, Page 4 (with photo of her and her sons).
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    B-59: Thank you for providing the background on Sanger as well as the reason she might have been in the news at the time. We will add some details to this record as well as to the other photos of Sanger in Flickr.
  • Art Siegel said:
    An account (with photo) of her appearance in Federal Court in New York for her trial, at which she was to represent herself, ran in the New York Press, 1/19/1916.
