Fanny Rysan Mulford Hitchcock (February 7, 1851 - 1936)[1] was one of only 13 women to receive their doctorates in chemistry in the 1800s,[2] and the first woman to receive a doctorate in Philosophy of Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. She made contributions to entomology, fish osteology, and plant pathology.[3] She began her studies at Columbia University publishing several papers, and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania. She worked at many colleges including University of Berlin and University of Pennsylvania. She worked at the University of Pennsylvania for nineteen years and devoted her life to helping women pursuing an education at the university. LifeShe was born on February 7, 1851 to Elizabeth and Julius S. Hitchcock.[3] She began her studies at Columbia University, and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania. In pursuit of science, she then worked in the chemistry department at the University of Berlin in 1892 and returned to the University of Pennsylvania after a year to become the first Director of the Women's Graduate Department.[3] She held this position for nineteen years. Her financial support helped to establish a women's athletic program at the University of Pennsylvania.[1] She also attempted to establish one or more undergraduate courses for women at the University of Pennsylvania, but her proposal was rejected by the trustees of the University.[1] Aside from her academic studies and positions at various universities, she maintained a laboratory in both her home in Philadelphia and her country residence in Warwick, New York.[1] In 1921, she retired from her life as a chemist at seventy years old and donated all of her equipment to the University of Pennsylvania.[1] She was known to support the financial needs of students who could not afford to attend the University.[1] She died at the age of eighty-five on September 25, 1936 in her Warwick country residence.
