For the day 4 #SciArtSeptember prompt riverbank I am sharing my portrait of geologist & #paleontogist Alice Wilson (1881-1964) who mapped the Ottawa-St Lawrence river valley.
After completing her BSc in ‘11 she was 1st woman offered a position at GSC & 1st female geologist in #Canada. Forbidden to do fieldwork with men, she made a case she could work alone during day trips on foot or bike. Denied access to a gov field vehicle she used her own car.🧵
