Author Clara Mae Taylor (1989-?) attended Columbia University Teacher's College and then taught at the Rhode Island Teacher's College and at her alma mater. She earned her PhD in nutrition science at age forty after spending a year in research at Oxford. "During World War II, Taylor directed a research project under the Department of Agriculture that investigated energy metabolism in children. She also studied metabolism in women at different ages. Her animal experiments on white rats and guinea pigs included dietary studies, an investigation of different levels of ascorbic acid on reproduction, and studies on lactation and survival rates. During the war and the immediate post-war period, she served as a nutritional consultant to two popular women's magazines, Woman's Home Companion and Parents Magazine" (Ogilvie, Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science, p. 1269).
