Scientific paper

Mrs Mary Evershed is principally remembered in astronomical circles as the wife and collaborator of John Evershed, Director of the Kodaikanal Observatory in India in the early part of the twentieth century. Her own independent work on the astronomy of the poet Dante, written under her maiden name M.A. Orr, remains better known today among Dante scholars than among astronomers. This paper outlines her life and records her contributions to solar observations, to the history of astronomy, and to Dante studies.
