Who was Louise Boyd Dale?
Louise Boyd Dale was a philatelist and the daughter of fellow philatelist Alfred F. Lichtenstein.
Born in New York City, she was raised as a stamp collector from an early age in the environment of her father’s rare collections and numerous prominent philatelic friends, she herself became a highly regarded collector of stamps and a recognized figure in the field of philately.
Serious philatelic research and collecting, up to the early 20th century, was generally regarded as a field for "men only" to enjoy, and Louise Dale was prominent in breaking this cultural mold, and establishing women in the ranks of philately. She became a "first woman" in a number of positions previously held only by men.
