- Abstract
The article discusses Phebe Hanaford's 1882 book, "Daughters of America," which profiles American women who made significant contributions to various fields during the 19th century. Hanaford includes female scientists such as Almira H. Lincoln Phelps, who wrote books on chemistry and botany, and Mrs. Erminnie A. Smith, who collected fossils and published papers on amber. The book also features ornithologist Grace Anna Lewis, who became a naturalist with the support of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Hanaford herself was an abolitionist, suffragist, and one of the first women ordained as a Universalist church minister. The article emphasizes the importance of promoting successful female role models in science to broaden students' perspectives and foster STEM identities. The full book and related resources are available on the Library of Congress' website.
