1 Nancy Atkinson, Bacteriologist, Winemaker and Writer Emma McEwin , 2018 single work biography
— Appears in: Australian Journal of Biography and History , December no. 1 2018; (p. 59-77)

'Nancy Atkinson, a pioneering bacteriologist at the University of Adelaide, was not only a scientific researcher of note but also a teacher of generations of graduate students. Yet when the chair in her field finally became available, she was overlooked in favour of a male English import, despite having acted in the role for many years. She was valued it seems more for her teaching than her research, a classic tendency to ascribe to women in scientific circles a nurturing, rather than a knowledge-creating function.'
