Carrie Matilda Derick, chercheuse en sciences naturelles (Clarenceville, Qc, 14 janv. 1862 -- Montréal, 10 nov. 1941). Étudiante douée de l'U. McGill (B.A., 1890; M.A., 1896), elle étudie également à Harvard, au Marine Biological Laboratory de Woods Hole, au Massachusetts, au Royal College of Science de Londres et à l'U. de Bonn en Allemagne. Elle est nommée chef des travaux en botanique à McGill en 1891, devenant ainsi la première femme à faire partie du personnel enseignant de McGill. En 1912, elle devient professeur de botanique morphologique et, par le fait même, la première femme nommée professeur titulaire au Canada. Ses cours introduisent l'enseignement de la génétique à McGill. Animatrice sociale, elle se fait championne de certaines causes telles que la fréquentation scolaire obligatoire, les soins apportés aux enfants anormaux, la formation industrielle et technique, les droits des femmes et le contrôle des naissances.
