Profile of her husband includes a lot about her career: embryo.asu.edu/view/embryo:124439

pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) An excerpt from The Embryo Project Encyclopedia on Warren Harmon Lewis, husband of Margaret Reed Lewis: "On 23 May 1910 he married Margaret Reed of Pennsylvania, whom he met while working at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole and who would join him in his future research endeavors, including early amphibian embryology and mammalian tissue culture. She was a graduate of Goucher College and held a number of research positions, including working in Max Hartmann’s lab in Berlin with Rhoda Erdmann in 1908 on tissue cultures and as an assistant to Thomas Hunt Morgan at Bryn Mawr College and Columbia University. She also taught physiology and biology at New York Medical College, Barnard College, and Miss Chapin’s School." Thanks, Penny! Susannah Smithsonian Institution Archives

Her wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maud_Slye

Wishing our educational system taught about accomplished women like Maude. What an inspiration she could be to young girls wanting to pursue traditionally male dominated professions. Swimming against the tide!

Some of us do teach women's history in K-12. ;) And this is a great month to find and fund teachers with women's history projects at donorschoose.org ... I just did!

Congratulations!
This is a wonderful shot!
