Her work allowed us further insight into history of men and women studying biology that occurred within the 1900s.
[3] Also an author, Richmond's newest project is titled “Women in Science: The Case of Genetics, 1900-1940” and offers an international comparison of the experiences of women who worked in genetics from 1900 (with the rediscovery of Mendel's work) until the 1940s.
