Anna Winlock
Anna Winlock (born September 15, 1857 in Cambridge, Massachusetts; died January 4, 1904) was an American astronomer and daughter of Joseph Winlock and Isabella Lane. Like her father, she was a computer and astronomer. It is plausible that this connection allowed her to be among the first of the women to be known as "the Harvard Computers." She was also a distinguished woman computer as she made the most complete catalogue of stars near the north and south poles of her era. She is also remembered for her calculations and studies of asteroids. In particular she did calculations on 433 Eros and 475 Ocllo.
== Early Years ==
Anna Winlock attended the Cambridge Schools as a child and began to develop an interest in both mathematics and the Greek language. Upon her graduation she received a letter from her principal expressing his appreciation for her Greek and of her character. It's because of her father that she began to show interest in Astronomy. When she was twelve she attended a solar eclipse expedition with her father Joseph Winlock, to his homestate of Kentucky. In June 1875, Joseph Winlock died shortly after Anna had graduated from primary school. Anna quickly followed in her father's footsteps becoming one of the first female paid staff members of the Harvard College Observatory.
