Eva Beatrice Dykes was the first black American woman to fulfill the requirements for a doctoral degree, and the third to be awarded a PhD. (Seventh-Day Adventism) ==Early life and education== Dykes was born in Washington, D.C. on August 13, 1893, the daughter of Martha Ann Howard and James Stanley Dykes. She attended M Street High School (later renamed Dunbar High School) then Howard University, graduating summa cum laude with a B.A. in 1914. While attending Howard University, Eva was initiated into the Alpha chapter of Delta Sigma Theta. After a short stint of teaching at Walden University in Nashville, Tennessee, Dykes attended Radcliffe College graduating magna cum laude with a second B.A. in 1917 and a M.A in 1918. While at Radcliffe she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1920 Dykes began teaching at Dunbar High School, and in 1921 she received a PhD from Radcliffe (now a part of Harvard University). Her dissertation was titled “Pope and His influence in America from 1715 to 1815”, and explored the attitudes of Alexander Pope towards slavery and his influence on American writers.〔Sonya Ramsey. "Dykes, Eva Beatrice" in Susan Ware and Stacey Braukman (editors) ''Notable American Women: A Biographical Dictionary'' Vol. 5. (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Belknap Press, 2005), 188.〕 Dykes was the first black American woman to complete the requirements for a doctoral degree, however, because Radcliffe College held its graduation ceremonies later than some other universities, she was the third to graduate, behind Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander and Georgiana Simpson.〔Werner Sollors, Caldwell Titcomb, Thomas Underwood, and Randall Kennedy.
