... that Margaret Gowing became the University of Oxford's first professor of the history of science, despite not having a degree in history or science?
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: An interesting article, and a remarkable woman! This just completed the GA process, so it pretty easily meets the standards for DYK. There are no citations in the lede, but the lede only summarizes things covered in greater detail in the body of the article, where each paragraph indeed has one or more respectable citations. The hook is cited to a paywalled biography, but the abstract appears to support the general thrust, as does her biography as described elsewhere. Good to go!
