GOOD, solid copy. [\] "[Leonard] was private secretary and assistant to the astronomer Percival Lowell for over two decades, from 1883 until Lowell's death. In 1895, she traveled to Africa with Lowell to look for a site for a new observatory, which was later established in Flagstaff, Arizona. Leonard managed Lowell's correspondence, edited his many articles and speeches, and traveled with him extensively.  She was left in charge of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff during his absences. She carried out astronomical observations at the observatory in Arizona, after it was built in 1894, studying the planets Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and especially Mars. The observatory's logbooks show that "W.L.L." carried out observations frequently in the early years, and they include sketches that she made of Mars and Venus. This indicates that she was regularly using the large telescope a half century before it became usual for women in astronomy to do so. She also accompanied Lowell to Tacubaya, outside Mexico City, when the large Clark refractor was shipped there in 1896 for one of several oppositions of Mars that she would observe. In 1907, she published her drawings of Mars in Popular Astronomy with notes on the planet its ice caps, Lowell's 'canals' during some of the years when it was in opposition (1901, 1903, 1905). In 1904, Leonard was inducted into the Societé Astronomique de France, then an unusual honor for a woman. She was also an honorary member of the Sociedad Astronomico de Mexico."--Wikipedia |\| And bound in the same issue with: LOWELL, Percival.
