Why Is Giuliana Tesoro Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Giuliana Tesoro was an Italian-born American chemist who earned more than 125 patents, with her most notable consisting of improvements in fabric comfort, practicality, and flame resistance. Biography Guiliana Cavaglieri was born to Gino and Margherita Maroni Cavaglieri, in Venice, Italy during the center of Facism’s rise in the region. Her parents were wealthy Jewish people with college degrees, and the prestige certainly carried over to Tesoro who began third grade at the early age of six. Tesoro graduated from Liceo Classico Marco Polo high school in 1938 shortly after her father passed away in 1934. Unfortunately, she was denied entrance into any Italian school due to her Jewish identity as the nation’s fascist ideas forbade Jews from attending higher education. That did not stop Tesoro, who traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to obtain an x-ray technician diploma, and eventually to the United States to further her studies in chemistry. Her passion led her to attempt to enter the PhD program at Yale University, as a teenager. Tesoro self-studied the course material for months before successfully passing several examinations and completing some senior-level courses, both of which were expedited due to the second World War occurring at the time. At the age of 21, Giuliana had obtained a PhD in organic chemistry. A year later, she married a newswriter named Victor Tesoro who was working at Yale during her studies, in the heart of New York City. Four years later, Tesoro officially became a U.S. citizen.
