First Published in 1999. Alice Middleton Boring was a remarkable woman who lived and worked in remarkable times. This feisty, head-strong scientist spent her life teaching biology in China, during some of the most tumultuous times in the country's history. Alice found herself continually distracted from science by civil war, revolution, the Japanese occupation, World War II (involving her internment and repatriation), and the upheaval which resulted in the creation of a new, socialist society. Nevertheless, throughout the turmoil she continued to publish scientific papers. In spite of her experiences, she remained deeply influenced by her time in China long after her return to the United States. Loyalty to the Chinese and an almost evangelical appreciation of her adopted culture permeated the rest of her personal and professional life.
Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie is Curator of the History of Science Collections, Professor of Bibliography, and Adjunct Professor of History of Science at the University of Oklahoma, USA. Her early work was on Robert Chambers, a nineteenth-century evolutionist, and since 1986 she has published numerous works on the history of women in science. Clifford J. Choquette is retired from Bedford V.A. Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. He is the author of two successful nominations of important historical figures into the national Women's Hall of Fame, including US representative Edith Nourse Rogers and geneticist Nettie Maria Stevens.
