Biographical History
The Woman's Education Association, founded in Boston, Mass, in 1872, and disbanded in 1927, was the catalyst for many educational innovations for women. It instituted the Harvard Examinations for Women (1872), arranged with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to offer summer chemistry courses for women (1873), encouraged Harvard to offer botany courses (1879), raised money for Radcliffe College (1894), and helped found the summer laboratory (later the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Hole) at Annisquam, Mass. The Association was also concerned with the training of nurses, early childhood education, and the provision of day care.
