Biography


Genoveva (Geneviève) "Kewpie" Dawson de Teruggi was born January 23, 1918. She graduated as Botany in 1942, being one of the first graduates of that discipline at the La Plata Museum,[1] and later she received a doctorate in Biological Sciences.

She developed her academic activities at the Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, National University of La Plata. She made botanical expeditions through Chile, and Argentina,[2] with the help of Helga Schwabe.[3] Dawson is part of a group of talented disciples of the botanist Ángel Lulio Cabrera, among them: María Cristina Orsi, Otto Thomas Solbrig, Elsa Matilde Zardini, Jorge Morello, Humberto A. Fabris, Delia Abbiatti, Maevia Noemí Correa, Delia Añón Suárez, Amelia Torres, Aída Pontiroli, Jorge Crisci, Roberto Kiesling and Fernando Zuloaga.

Dawson is the great-granddaughter of the astronomer Bernhard Dawson and the granddaughter of the geologist Mario E. Teruggi. Dawson had four children. Of these, Diana Teruggi de Mariani (December 3, 1950, La Plata - November 24, 1976) was executed by military forces,[4] and Diana's baby, Clara Anahí Mariani (born August 12, 1976, La Plata), was kidnapped and deprived of her identity.[5]

She was a member of the Argentine Federation of University Women (FAMU) and the Argentine Botanical Society.
