Josephine Gordon Rich

Josephine Gordon Rich (1866–1940) was a New Zealand zoologist. In 1891, Rich achieved the highest grade in all her first year classes in zoology, botany, general biology, and practical biology from the University of Otago.[1]

Rich was one of only four New Zealand women who published results of her scientific work before 1901.[2] Her work on spiny lobsters (Palinurus edwardsii) was co-authored by her teacher Thomas Jeffery Parker in 1893.[3]

On 28 August 1894, Josephine married the Australian William Aitcheson Haswell (1854–1925), a friend Thomas Jeffrey Parker, in Christchurch, New Zealand.[4][5]
