Women of Natural History

Naturalist Kim White explores women's contributions to the field of natural history, from Queen Hatshepsut's botanical collections (1478-1458 B.C.E) to biologist Rachel Carson (1907-1964).

Throughout history, women have made significant observations that have changed our understanding of the natural world. In this program, naturalist Kim White explores that rich history.

Kim White brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the field. She worked for 20 years at the Brookfield Zoo, first as a volunteer before joining the staff as a full-time educator. She now offers a variety of educational programs and services across the Chicagoland area, teaching kids at libraries, summer camps, and classrooms about the wonders of natural science.
