In the late 16th Century Holland, a certain unique divorced woman carved a life out for herself as an artist and natural historian studying metamorphosis. Eventually she traveled to far-flung Surinam to collect and paint insects in the New World tropics and published a beautiful book of her research. Despite all her accomplishments, her life and art had been overlooked and ignored and it is only now that her reputation as a groundbreaking woman of natural sciences is being restored. Tonight, Inquiry talks with KIM TODD about her fascinating biography: CHRYSALIS: MARIA SIBILLA MERIAN AND THE SECRETS OF METAMORPHOSIS.
