Catherine Park Snodgrass was a Scottish geographer who spent much of her career as a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.
After attending Esbank Girls' School, George Watson's Ladies' College, and St George's School, Edinburgh, she studied mathematics and natural history at the University of Edinburgh, and gained her MA in 1924.
The following year she received her teaching credentials from St George's Training College, and then taught math and geography at Edinburgh's St Oran's School while continuing her education, including for the two-year diploma in geography under Alan Grant Ogilvie.
She took early retirement in 1957, and in ill health gave up her position as editor of the Scottish Geographical Magazine in 1967.
[1] Snodgrass was "thorough, exacting and most devoting"; students had to combine proper fact-based scholarship with an insight into the social context of the subject, and treat social matters with "care, sympathy and understanding".
