Alice Blanche Balfour
Alice Blanche Balfour was a Victorian naturalist and one of the earliest female pioneers in the science of genetics.
==Life==
Balfour was the daughter of James Maitland Balfour and was born in 1851〔1851 England Wales and Scotland Census for Whittingham House, Whittingehame, Dunbar, Haddingtonshire (East Lothian), Scotland 〕 in Dunbar where she died 86 years later in 1936.〔 〕 She lived much of her adult life in London 〔1911 Census of England Wales and Scotland - St Martins in the Field, London〕 with her brother Arthur Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour who was at one time Prime Minister of Britain. Another of her brothers was Francis Maitland Balfour who was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society at the age of 27 for his work on embryology.
She developed a lifelong interest in entomology and later developed an interest in genetics and in particular the way that the patterns in Zebra skins were inherited . She had a lengthy correspondence with James Cossar Ewart Professor of Zoology at University of Edinburgh who himself had a professional interest in the development of the Horse. The correspondence relates to the possibility of cross-breeding Zebra with horses to reduce the impact of Tsetse fly on horses in Africa.〔(New Stripes Old Stripes - Zebras and the tsetse fly )〕
In 1895 she published the book ''"Twelve Hundred miles in a Waggon"''
