Thanks to Todd Plummer who suggested Catherine Munson for GGSTEM. The picture above appeared in the Marin News soon after she passed away.
The article says
Mrs. Munson, a native of Omaha, Neb., grew up in the Midwest and studied microbiology and biochemistry at the University of Nebraska, earning master’s degrees in both. After marrying Bill Munson in 1948 and moving to San Francisco, she worked for the Atomic Energy Commission before quitting to raise three daughters.
