Isabelle Stone (October 18, 1868 – 1966) was an American physicist and educator. She was one of the founders of the American Physical Society .[1] She was among the first women to earn a PhD in physics in the United States .
Early life and education [ edit ]
Stone was born in 1868 to Harriet H. Leonard Stone and Leander Stone in Chicago .[2] She completed a bachelor's degree at Wellesley College in 1890,[1] and was among the first women to earn a PhD in physics in the United States, earning hers just two years after Caroline Willard Baldwin earned a Doctor of Science at Cornell University .[3] Stone completed doctoral work at the University of Chicago .[4] Her 1897 thesis, On the Electrical Resistance of Thin Films , showed that very thin metal films showed a higher resistivity than the bulk metal.[5]
Stone taught for a year at the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore. She was a physics instructor at Vassar College from 1898 to 1906,[6] and head of the physics department at Sweet Briar College from 1915 to 1923.[7] From 1908 to 1914, she and her sister Harriet Stone ran a school for American girls in Rome,[1] and later in life they ran another school for girls in Washington, D.C. [8]
Stone was one of two women (out of a total of 836) to attend the first International Congress of Physics in Paris (the other being Marie Curie ).[4] In 1899, she was one of forty physicists (and one of two women, the other being Marcia Keith ) at the first meeting of the American Physical Society , held at Columbia University .[9]
Stone's research focused on the electrical resistance and other properties of thin films .[1]
Publications [ edit ]
Personal life [ edit ]
Stone lived with her sister Harriet Stone in Washington, D.C. in her later years. Some of her letters are in the papers of George B. Pegram at Columbia University .[6]
