Description:
Many of the world’s greatest scientists and engineers, including Alice Eastwood, have been greatly ignored over the years. Although most people have never heard her name, they should take some time to learn more. Many of the plants that you see in the California Academy of Sciences (nearly 1500 specimens), were saved by her on the day of the 1906 earthquake. She helped document several of the species that we live around today. Though seldom thanked and rarely thought of, It is very important to remember her act of bravery in times of disaster. This archive is created to document her life and her accomplishments as a female scientist in the early 1900s, and note her importance to our time.
