E K Janaki Ammal

The latest issue of Resonance carries a biographical sketch of EK Janaki Ammal, a botanist (pdf); though the sketch mentions that Ammal was elected to be a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences the year the academy was founded by Sir C V Raman, namely, in 1935, from this document, it is clear that she is actually one of the founding members of the academy (and, hence the first woman member of the academy). Here is a note with her photograph (pdf). Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much of information on her on the net (and, no wiki page too, though she is listed as an eminent Ezhava).
