Henrietta Darwin (date unknown)

Title

Henrietta Darwin (date unknown)

Description

Henrietta made a significant contribution to her father’s work, most notably as editor of Descent. Darwin’s correspondence suggests that she was selected as editor less for the civilizing, feminine influence she might exert on his work and more for her ability to digest his theories, clarify his arguments and sharpen his ideas.
