Some Famous People called Althea Sherman
Althea Sherman
Althea Rosina Sherman (October 1853 – 1943) was born in Farmersburg Township, Clayton County, Iowa. She was an illustrator, educator, self-taught ornithologist, and writer who commissioned the building of the Chimney Swifts' Tower which allowed her to be the first to study and demonstrate the life cycle of chimney swifts. Her career in ornithology also led to her publishing more than 70 articles in scientific and ornithological journals and led to her election as a member of the American Ornithologists' Union and inclusion in the Who's Who of Women in Science. Additionally, her work as an illustrator, particularly of the American goldfinch, inspired the Iowa Legislature to adopt the American goldfinch as the State bird.
