Katharine Coman
Katharine Ellis Coman (November 23, 1857 – January 11, 1915) was an American social activist and professor. She was based at the women-only Wellesley College, Massachusetts, where she created new courses in political economy, in line with her personal belief in social change. As dean, she established a new department of economics and sociology.Among other admired works, Coman wrote ''The Industrial History of the United States'' and ''Economic Beginnings of the Far West: How We Won the Land Beyond the Mississippi''. She was the first female statistics professor in the US, the only woman co-founder of the American Economics Association, and author of the first paper published in ''The American Economic Review''. A believer in trades unionism, social insurance and the settlement movement, Coman travelled widely to conduct her research, and took her students on field trips to factories and tenements. She shared a home with poet Katharine Lee Bates. Provided by Wikipedia
