Excerpts

The daughter of a wealthy planter, Alexander used her inheritance to fund research for her passion—the natural sciences. Numerous dinosaur species have been named in her honor, and her legacy continues at the University of California at Berkeley's museum of paleontology, for which Alexander provided funds and donated specimens.
