Mary Elvira Weeks (April 10, 1892 – June 20, 1975) was an American chemist and historian of science. Weeks was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Kansas and the first woman to be a faculty member there.
Her book Discovery of the Elements is considered the "first connected narrative of how scientists unraveled the mysteries of matter" and a "classic of chemistry".[2] It went through seven editions and was published in multiple languages.[2] Weeks also published A History of the American Chemical Society (1952) with Charles Albert Browne, completing it after his death in 1947.[3]
