Happy Women's Day
Remembering Carrie Derick on Women's Day
In 1912, when the 成人VR视频 Board of Governors appointed Carrie Derick as the Professor of Comparative Morphology and Genetics, she became the first woman in Canada to be titled full professor. As Canada鈥檚 first woman geneticist, and the founder of the Genetics Department at 成人VR视频, a google doodle illustration posted on her 155th birthday gives us some sense of her academic interests in botany and genetics. However, it does not reflect the tremendous importance of her contribution to human rights and especially to the rights of Canadian women. To learn more about Carrie Derick, and other legacy women at 成人VR视频 and in Montreal, join us at the Redpath Museum for Women's Work, a staged reading on March 26, 2 pm. Read more about Carrie Derick's life and work here.
