Evelyn Hodes Wilson devoted her life to scientific research and to higher education. Born into a family of humble means early in the 20th century, through hard work in applying her rare intellectual gifts, she went on to become the first woman at Harvard to earn a Chemistry PhD, to synthesize the widely used drug Prednisone, and rose to the Vice-Presidency at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Evelyn was, throughout her life, an active role model for countless women academics in science, a champion of women’s rights, and a promoter of education in the arts.
