Grace Anne Stewart (4 August 1893 – 15 October 1970) was a Canadian geologist, known for being the first woman to graduate in geology in Canada at the University of Alberta.

[1] Grace Anne Stewart was born and raised in a rural farm near Minnedosa, Manitoba on August 4, 1893.

[1] Although the family lived far from city life, Grace Anne and her siblings did not lack professional influences.

[1] Grace Anne began her professional career in 1923 when she accepted an offer to become an instructor at Ohio State University.

Allan at the University of Alberta lead to long-term exchanges of rock samples and fossils that aided the development of both institutions geological museums in 1924 to 1925.

Stewart took a job offer in Calgary assigned with the task of correlating fossils found in oil well cores from different geographical areas.

[4] One of Stewart's most notable works was for McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology where she wrote an article on the Devonian period in the geology section.

In honour of her achievements as a woman in geology and as a graduate, the University of Alberta named a student-led initiative after her, called the Grace Anne Stewart Speaker Series.

[5] In 2015, eight graduate students created the G.A Stewart Speaker Series[5] as a way to encourage more diversity in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences faculty at the university.
