Biography

Foulke was born at Bala Farm, Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Julia DeVeaux Powel (daughter of John Hare Powel) and her husband, William Parker Foulke.[1][2] She was initially educated at private schools and subsequently attended Bryn Mawr College and the University of Pennsylvania.[1][2] Further into her career she studied and undertook research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and at the Station biologique de Roscoff.[1]

During the 1880s, Foulke focused her research on

animal psychology.[2] However, by the time of her death, this work was regarded by her obituary writer Henry Van Peters Wilson, as a work of "genius".[1]
