Marsha Richmond
Marsha Leigh Richmond is an American historian of science and a professor at Wayne State University, where she is known for her work on history of women in science. In 2020 she was elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Work
[edit]Richmond joined Wayne State University in 1994 and as of 2024 continues to work there as a professor.[1] During her time at Wayne State, she focused on research for the entry of women into science between 1900 and 1940.[2] Richmond has studied genetics as well as a focus on Darwin with evolution. Her work allowed us further insight into history of men and women studying biology that occurred within the 1900s.[3] Also an author, Richmond's newest project is titled “Women in Science: The Case of Genetics, 1900-1940” and offers an international comparison of the experiences of women who worked in genetics from 1900 (with the rediscovery of Mendel's work) until the 1940s.[4]
Awards
[edit]In 2010, she received the Margaret W. Rossiter History of Women in Science Prize from the History of Science Society for her article "The 'Domestication' of Heredity: The Familial Organization of Geneticists at Cambridge University, 1895-1910" (Journal of the History of Biology, 2006).[5] In 2020, she was elected the 2020 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).[6]
