Frances Hamerstrom
Frances "Fran" Hamerstrom (December 16, 1908 – August 29, 1998) was an American author, naturalist and ornithologist known for her work with the greater prairie chicken in Wisconsin, and for her research on birds of prey.〔Bildstein, Keith. (In Memoriam;Frances Hamerstrom, 1907-1998 ) ''The Auk'' 116(4):1122-1124, 1999.〕 She was the only female graduate student of Aldo Leopold, an ecologist who wrote ''A Sand County Almanac.'' Hamerstrom was a prolific writer, publishing over 100 professional papers and 10 books on the prairie chicken, harriers, eagles, and other wildlife topics. Some were translated into German.
== Biography ==
Frances Flint was born in 1907 into a wealthy family in Boston, Massachusetts. As a youth, she attended Milton Academy. As a child Hamerstrom developed a fascination with the natural world. Despite her father's complaint that such behavior was "unladylike", she kept wild pets and learned to hunt. To keep her family from uncovering evidence of her wildlife adventures, she planted poison ivy along the path that led to where she kept her wilderness gear. (Hamerstrom was naturally immune to its effects).〔
In 1931 she married Frederick Hamerstrom in secret. Later they remarried in a ceremony in Massachusetts.〔
Hamerstrom and her husband wanted to work with wildlife, at a time when the modern wildlife management and research profession was in its infancy. After meeting wildlife conservationist and ecologist Aldo Leopold, the Hamerstroms went to Iowa State University to study under Paul Errington, where Frederick earned a master's degree and Fran a bachelor's degree, working on the topic of predation, the food habits of the great horned owl. They moved to Wisconsin to work at a wildlife refuge and to attend graduate school under Aldo Leopold, the father of game management. Frederick Hamerstrom was one of only three men awarded a doctorate under Leopold and Frances was the only woman graduate student under Leopold to earn a master's degree. Leopold started the Hamerstroms on a study of the imperiled greater prairie chicken, an endangered species in Wisconsin.〔Rosenfield, Robert N. (In Memoriam ) Retrieved 2006-06-12〕
