Description
Although the past century in forensic science has yielded many innovations, few women have been credited with advancing the field. A notable exception is Frances Glessner Lee, daughter of John Jacob Glessner and heir to the International Harvester fortune. Defying her father's attempt to protect her from the outside world, she found a way to make a significant contribution to the arena of death investigation. In a 1949 article for the Coronet, George Oswald described her: "A queenly looking woman with the high, white coiffure and the tiny gold-rimmed eyeglasses is known as a passionate crusader for justice and a tireless lobbyist for reform." Lee was one of a kind.
