[4] Noyes published her thesis, entitled "The Influence of Heat and the Electric Current upon Young's Modulus for a Piano Wire," in Physical Review.
[7] That same year another American woman, Margaret Eliza Maltby, also earned her doctorate, but from the University of Göttingen.
[8] This achievement was quickly followed by Isabelle Stone, who earned a PhD in physics from the University of Chicago in 1897.
[9] Noyes spent most of her career at Lake Erie College, where she worked from 1886 to 1900 and taught mathematics, physics, and astronomy.
