Ida Annah Ryan,who is cited on this page as "the first woman to earn an architecture degree from M.I.T." was not. The Wikipedia page on her does not claim this, so it should be fixed here. The first were Lois Lilley Howe '88, who founded two architectural firms and was the first woman elected Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Sophia(Hayden) Bennett '90, won the design competition for the Women's Pavilion built at the Columbian Exposition (1893)also preceded Ryan'05, who was the first woman to be awarded a master degree, and the first to win architecture's travelling scholarship.
