Rosalie Auguste Emma Wunderlich

In 1926 she passed her Matura, an advanced degree, at the Gymnasium (school), or teacher training college, in Vienna.

After she passed the supplementary Matura, she studied botany at the University of Vienna.

She became a doctoral student at the Botanical Institute of the University of Vienna and worked closely with Karl Schnarf.

Despite completed her dissertation proposal, she did not register for the examination because she had already been back to work as an elementary or special schoolteacher for financial reasons.

Thanks to her specialist knowledge, she was able to elucidate Gregor Mendel's motivation for carrying out his crossing experiments.
