“…40 In 1907-1908, Menten worked as a pathology research fellow with Simon Flexner (1863-1946) and James Wesley Jobling (1876-1961) at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. 13,15,16 They published a monograph entitled Tumors of Animals in 1910; Menten's contribution described the effects of radium bromide on the Flexner-Jobling transplantable rat tumor. 41 Her work was begun only 9 years after radium bromide's discovery by Pierre and Marie Curie; this was also the first monograph published by the Institute.…”

“…Menten next worked as an intern at the New York Infirmary for Women and Children; while no sources provides dates, Ogilvie and Harvey report this was a 1 year position. 15 New York Infirmary for Women and Children was a hospital for women in Lower Manhattan that was run by women; it was established by Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910), the first woman in the US to graduate from medical school. 42,43 This position is not mentioned in Menten's Nature obituary 13 nor is Menten mentioned in a recent history of Blackwell, her sister, and their institutions.…”

“…12 The importance of Menten's overall scientific contributions to laboratory medicine should place her in the very upper echelon of 20th century pathologists, regardless of gender or area of specialization. However, other than her obituary in Nature, 13 a short paper in Perspectives in Pediatric Pathology written by one of her devoted former trainees, 14 a brief entry in a biographical dictionary of women in science, 15 and a more substantial entry in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, 16 there is limited information about her impressive life and career in the scholarly historical literature.…”

Maud Menten was born and raised in remote regions of Canada. She obtained her MB/MD at the University of Toronto (1907/1911) and her PhD in biochemistry at the University of Chicago (1916). From 1907 to 1916, she trained at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, the New York Infirmary for Women and Children, Western Reserve University in Cleveland, the Berlin Municipal Hospital in Germany, and the Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital in St Louis. In 1916, she was appointed as pathologist at the Elizabeth Steel Magee Hospital, a charitable maternity hospital in Pittsburgh. She received a faculty appointment at the University of Pittsburgh (1918) and was appointed pathologist at Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital (1926). In addition to being one of the first woman academic pathologists, she was likely the first perinatal, the second pediatric-perinatal, and the fourth pediatric pathologist to practice in North America. The importance of Menten’s overall scientific contributions place her in the very upper echelon of 20th century pathologists. Her enzyme kinetic work resulted in the Michaelis-Menten equation, and her work in George Crile’s laboratory in Cleveland provided a physiological basis for improved surgical outcomes. Her work in Pittsburgh was equally innovative, including initiating the field of enzyme histochemistry.

“…Специально основанный им для этих исследований Имперский колледж наук и технологий объявил конкурс на обучение инженеров-электротехников. Одним из победителей конкурса стала молодая и привлекательная Герта Маркс, ранее окончившая обучение в Кембридже, но получившая не степень бакалавра, как все мужчины, а лишь сертификат, как и все выпускницы [2]. Официальным документом сертификат не считался (так было и в России, и во всех европейских странах).…”

Статья посвящена гендерному феномену на рубеже XIX и ХХ веков, который связан с научными исследованиями Герты Маркс Айртон – первой женщины-профессора электротехнических наук. Она стала самой научно-титулованной английской леди. Герта Маркс Айртон активно участвовала в организации британского высшего электротехнического образования, развитии Имперского электротехнического колледжа. Ее многочисленные патенты долгие годы применялись в гражданской и военной областях, а вклад в науку ознаменовал начало пути женщин в электротехнику

Women's experiences in early physical anthropology

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

At the establishment of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in 1930, women comprised 2.4% of the total membership, and 9.7% a decade later. By 2014~70% of members were women. Despite these numbers, there are continued gender disparities within the discipline. While there is considerable interest in promoting equity, there is little documentation of the historical experiences of female anthropologists. This article introduces the women active in the discipline during the first decade of the Association, compiles descriptions of their experiences related to their treatment based on gender, and examines these historical perspectives in conjunction with documented trends of continuing gender disparities. A pattern is evident for these early anthropologists of receiving personal and financial discouragement during their education; experiencing discrimination in hiring, promotion, and pay; studying women and children as entrée into professional work; working within the federal government or military; leaving anthropology early in their careers; having their work credited to their male colleagues; experiencing additional limitations if they married; and outwardly downplaying their own experiences of sexism. This pattern is echoed in the experiences of female anthropologists today. K E Y W O R D S gender disparity, history of physical anthropology, women in STEM
