Sophie Coe

Sophie Dobzhansky Coe (July 7, 1933 – May 25, 1994) was an American anthropologist, food historian and author, who studied the history of chocolate.

[2] Dobzhansky graduated in 1955 from Radcliffe College with a major in anthropology, where she mastered Russian and Portuguese, and was known for keeping a pet tarantula in a bottle.

Knorosov based his studies on De Landa's phonetic alphabet and is credited with originally breaking the Maya code.

Coe built an extensive collection of books on culinary history, nearly 1,000 volumes from around the world dating from the eighteenth century onward, as well as a group of manuscript cookbooks.

On 5 June 1955, the summer of her undergraduate graduation and the day before her final exam in Byzantine history, Dobzhansky married Michael D. Coe in a Russian Orthodox ceremony in New York City.
