Martha Carey Thomas made history by creating the first graduate program in the United States that admitted female students. Mamie Gwinn played an instrumental role in Thomas’s success, including completing a major research and writing project that her partner took credit for to earn her doctoral degree.
Thomas and Gwinn were in an outlaw marriage from 1878 until 1904.
