Re: Ida Henrietta Hyde
Dr. Israel: Not too late, I hope -- See the chapter on Hyde by Mary R.S. Creese in "Women in the Biological Sciences: A Biobibliographic Sourcebook" (Louise S. Grinstein, Carol A. Biermann, and Rose K. Rose, Eds. Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1997), p. 246-253, which cites her bibliography and works about her, as well as archives at the University of Kansas and her diaries at the archives of the American Association of University Women (Washington, DC). Her 1921 paper was: "A micro-electrode and unicellular stimulation" (Biological Bulletin 40 (1921): 130-133). I didn't see a citation for the archives of the Marine Biological Laboratory, but since she did early work there (see "Women of Science at the MBL": http://www.mbl.edu/inside/what/news/publications/women_index.html ) and published the 1921 paper in its Bulletin, you may wish to look there, too. Dr. Louise Marshall here at the UCLA Neuroscience History Archives notes that Hyde was the first woman member of the American Physiological Society and recommends G.S. Tucker's "Ida Henrietta Hyde: The first woman member of the society" (Physiologist 24 (1981): 1-10). See also E.E. Johnson's paper, "Ida Henrietta Hyde: early experiments" (Physiologist 24 (1981): 10-11). cheers, Russell Johnson ___________________________________________________ Russell A.
