   To the Japanese, Drew-Baker is celebrated as 'Mother of the Sea'. Although she died before she could visit Japan, aged only 55, she was honored with a monument in Uto (enshrining her graduation gown and scientific papers) paid for by hundreds of grateful nori farmers.

   Beginning her academic career as a lecturer in botany at the University of Manchester, when Drew-Baker married in 1928 she was instantly dismissed as the university did not employ married women😐
