This is Elisabeth Wollman (1888-1943). Her life was extraordinary & her legacy is phenomenal.
In collaboration with her husband, Eugène, she was a pioneer of what became molecular genetics. This pic is her Pasteur Institute portrait from the early 1920s.
Their groundbreaking work was carried on by a colleague & their son, leading to a Nobel prize & more.
CW: The Wollmans' lives were ended in Auschwitz.
I've just created her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Wollman
