She was born in England in the '30s. Her father left the family, and her mother raised her and her sister. Her mother couldn't afford to send her to college, and besides, in that time, only 1-in-10 English women went on to be college students. So, she worked a series of secretarial jobs and saved up enough money to eventually travel to Africa hoping to work with animals. That's where she got a gig as an assistant for Dr. Louis Leakey, who recognized her aptitude in noticing things the scientists of those days did not. At 26, with no formal scientific education and limited training, she did her first field research and discovered that chimpanzees use tools, completely upending her field and the broader scientific community overnight. Such a long, extraordinary life, and it all started with a young woman who didn't accept the lot she had been given. Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall. Thanks for everything.
