Useful biographical resource

A useful resource that can probably be used to improve the scope of this biography is "Charlotte Ellis of the Sandia Mountains" by Eugene Jercinovic ([1] and [2]). There are also photos of Ellis, although I don't know if they are in the public domain. The author's contact information is at the end of the second document.

Calling this person a scientist

In what way is this person a scientist? She never studied, taught or wrote anything scientific. She was a frontier woman with a hard life but an interest in plants who collected some 500 voucher specimens, most now lost. I don't think that makes her a scientist. I don't consider explorers with much more extensive collections botanists, unless they actually studied or published about botany. Perhaps others believe that woman should be held to lower standards?
