Sophia Bledsoe Herrick (1837–1919) was a science writer, editor, and literary critic. Born 26 March 1837, the daughter of Albert Taylor Bledsoe, of Gambier, Ohio, Sophia moved to New York after her marriage to the Reverend James B. Herrick, by whom she had several children. The couple separated when Herrick left the ministry to become a member of the Oneida Community. Sophia joined her father in Baltimore, contributing to the ''Southern Review'' and beginning a school for girls. She pursued an early interest in evolutionary theory by studying biology at Johns Hopkins University and published scientific articles in ''Century'' and ''Scribner's Magazine'' for a general audience. She became a frequent contributor of articles, writings as Mrs S. B. Herrick, and was for a time assistant editor to Richard Watson Gilder at ''Century''. Her later works were on the natural history and travel. Herrick died on 9 October 1919. == Works by the author == *''The Wonders of Plant Life under the Microscope'', 1883 *''The Earth in Past Ages'', 1888 *''Century of Sonnets'', 1902 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「Sophia Bledsoe Herrick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
