El Laboratorio Foster de la Residencia de Señoritas. Las relaciones de la JAE con el International Institute for Girls in Spain, y la formación de las jóvenes científicas españolas

Abstract

In the first third of the twentieth century, relations among American and Spanish university women began; particularly the relationship between the JAE and the International Institute for Girls in Spain had a positive influence in the education of women scientists in Spain. An interchange of students and teachers came out from this relationship, and Spanish women received scholarships to stay in American universities. The history of the Foster Laboratory and some biographical notes of her founder are included in the paper.
