Index
From the foreword: As an intrepid botanist in the field, a disciplined taxonomist at her desk, a gifted artist at the easel, and a self-taught scholar during a period when women’s opportunities for advanced learning were limited, Furbish’s life and career are worthy of careful examination.
— Richard H. F. Lindemann, Bowdoin College Library, director emeritus, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives
From the introduction: She was a woman both of her time and ahead of her time, leading the way for other women in botany.
— Melissa Dow Cullina, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
