Project: Mary Anning: Paleontology's Enigmatic First Lady

Student: Raquel Eriz


PROJECT SUMMARY
Females have continually struggled throughout history to earn equality in a struggle against their male counterparts. Though just as deserving, many women are swept under the rug of history, without due credit being given to their scientific, literary or artistic contributions. One such female, Mary Anning, was the foremost contributor to the study of paleontology during her time and only recently is being recognized by the scientific community. Poverty and sexism kept Mary's work in the shadows in a world of male aristocracy. Today, relatively little is known about Mary Anning but her contribution to the study of paleontology is undeniable.
