Abstract
This paper explores the contribution that women past and present have made to cephalopod research. It includes short biographies of eight female cephalopod researchers who are now deceased: Jeanne Villepreux-Power, Anne Massy, Grace Watkinson, Grace Pickford, Anna Bidder, Zulma Castellanos, Katharina Mangold and Martina Roeleveld. In addition, biographies are provided for six female cephalopod researchers who are now retired but who have made an enormous contribution to cephalopod knowledge during their lifetimes: Nancy Voss, Marion Nixon, Joyce Wells, Julia Filippova, Eve Boucaud-Camou, and Renata Boucher-Rodoni. Online supplementary information provides a bibliography of the research outputs of these 14 researchers, who between them, since 1837 have published more than 800 scientific papers making an in-depth contribution to the field of cephalopod research.

Acknowledgements
ALA wishes to acknowledge the enthusiasm with which the cephalopod community (male and female alike) embraced this paper in its embryonic stages. Without the contributions of Nancy Voss, Joyce Wells, and Dominic Wells, this paper could not have been completed. Mike Sweeney’s input to and is very much appreciated. We really appreciate the effort by Angel Guerra to find and scan old photographs.
