Tidbits of WisdomFIRST WOMAN
Alice Augusta Ball
Born in 1892, Alice was the first African American and first woman to graduate with a master of science degree in chemistry from the College of Hawaii (now the University of Hawaii). She also developed the first successful treatment for those suffering from Hansen's disease (leprosy). She did not get credit for this achievement until years after her death, but eventually received posthumous accolades and the credit she deserved. Her untimely death (at age 24) was due to inhaling chlorine gas during a lab teaching accident. |
