In 1921, Beckwith was one of more than twenty women who worked in Smith's lab, and who were credited with studying bacterial wilt in new dry beans.[1] Among her cohort were several notable mycologists and botanists including Charlotte Elliott, Nellie A. Brown, Edith Cash, Mary Katherine Bryan, Anna Jenkins, and Lucia McCulloch, Pearle Smith.[1]
She was a member of the Mycological Society of America and published regularly in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club.[4]
