She was the first women to be awarded a Doctor of Science from University of London and the first woman to be awarded a PhD from the University of Munich. She was also a supporter and campaigner for the rights and equality of children and women. ==Early life and education== Maria Ogilvie, known as May, was born in Monymusk, Aberdeenshire in 1864, the eldest daughter of Maria Matilda Nichol and Reverend Alexander Ogilvie LL.D., headmaster of Robert Gordons College. 〔 〕〔 〕 She had five brothers and two sisters〔 and her eldest brother, Francis Grant Ogilvie, was also a scientist and director of the London Science Museum.〔 At the age of 9 she went to the Merchant Company Edinburgh Ladies' College where she remained for 9 years becoming both head girl and the best academic pupil. At the age of 18 she went to the Royal Academy of Music in London where she studied piano. However, she left within a year to start a Bachelor of Science at Heriot-Watt College. She completed her degree, specialising in geology, botany and zoology, in 1890 at University College London.〔〔 In 1891, she travelled to Germany to continue her studies at Berlin University.〔 She was however refused admission as women were not admitted to higher education institutions at the time in Germany, this despite the efforts of several influential friends and colleagues, including geologist Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen〔 She accompanied von Richthofen and his wife to Munich where she studied with Karl von Zittel and Richard von Hertwig and carried out research.〔 In July 1891, the Richthofens travelled to the Dolomites for five weeks, inviting Ogilvie to go with them.〔 It was in the Dolomites with Richthofen that she began to focus her work on geology.〔 In 1893 she was awarded the Doctor of Science in Geology from the University of London and was the first woman to receive this degree. In 1900, she became the first women to be awarded a PhD from the University of Munich, receiving a distinction in the fields of geology, palaeontology and zoology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nls.uk/learning-zone/science-and-technology/women-scientists/maria-gordon )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maria Gordon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
