A fact from Edith Humphrey appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 March 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Edith Humphrey is thought to be the first British woman to obtain a doctorate in chemistry, in 1901?

The description of Humphrey's research is a bit weak here - although I understand it in broad terms, I am not enough of a chemist to create my own summary, and obviously I don't want to just lift it from one of the sources. If you are a chemist and can help, I have copies of all the sources I quoted, though not the the thesis itself beyond the introductory pages. Monxton (talk) 11:46, 7 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
