By Dawn Bazely<\/h2>\n

Before Carrie Derick<\/a> became Canada\u2019s first professional woman scientist, as a professor in Botany and Genetics at McGill University in 1912, we know that White, anglophone Canadian women were<\/em> making an income from running garden centres, as botanical illustrators, and from writing magazine articles, field guides and coffee-table books about botany, horticulture and gardening. Evidence for this comes from artwork, and many written documents, including the Canadian Horticulturist<\/em> Magazine (see ‘Let it snow[berry]<\/a>‘).<\/p>\n

My colleague, York University history professor, Kate McPherson and I, wrote about what was happening in Ontario, in our chapter for feminist and science historian, Professor Emerita Ann B (Rusty) Shteir\u2019s<\/a> forthcoming Women, Men, and Plants in 19th<\/sup> Century Canada: New Resources, New Perspectives<\/em> (working title). Rusty wrote the influential 1996 history of science monograph: Cultivating Women, Cultivating Science: Flora’s Daughters and Botany in England, 1760 to 1860.<\/em><\/p>\n

Editor’s note<\/span><\/h3>\n

In true Dawn Bazely style, she has been too modest to mention a wonderful blog about her life in STEM<\/a> by Grace Constantino<\/a> of BHL<\/a>. This includes some of the images incorporated into the AdventBotany blog today.<\/span><\/p>\n
