Margaretta Hare Morris and Elizabeth Carrington Morris were sisters who transformed American science in the 19th century. Margaretta, an entomologist, was famous for her research on 17-year cicadas and other troublesome insects. She was one of the first women elected to both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. Elizabeth was a botanist, prolific illustrator, and trusted supplier of specimens to the country’s leading experts, and she published many articles in scientific journals.
Author and historian Catherine McNeur will discuss the research involved in recreating the Morris sisters’ lives and the many ways they were erased from the history of science.
