Women of Science at the MBL
URL: http://www.mbl.edu/publications/women_index.html

Description:
Profiles of women who studied at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in its early days. "Founded in 1888, [MBL] was unusual for its time in that it encouraged the enrollment of women students of science on an equal basis with men." Some of the featured women include authors Rachel Carson and Gertrude Stein, Barbara McClintock (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1983), and embryologist and neuroscientist Julia Barlow Platt. From MBL.
