Frances Glessner Lee, born a socialite to a wealthy and influential Chicago family in the 1870s, was never meant to have a career, let alone one steeped in death and depravity. Yet she developed a fascination with the investigation of violent crimes, and made it her life's work. Best known for creating the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, a series of dollhouses that appear charming--until you notice the macabre little details: an overturned chair, or a blood-spattered comforter. And then, of course, there are the bodies--splayed out on the floor, draped over chairs--clothed in garments that Lee lovingly knit with sewing pins. 18 Tiny Deaths, by official biographer Bruce Goldfarb, delves into Lee's journey from grandmother without a college degree to leading the scientific investigation of unexpected death out of the dark confines of centuries-old techniques and into the light of the modern day. Lee developed a system that used the Nutshells dioramas to train law enforcement officers to investigate violent crimes, and her methods are still used today. 18 Tiny Deathstransports the reader back in time and tells the story of how one woman, who should never have even been allowed into the classrooms she ended up teaching in, changed the face of science forever"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Lee, Frances Glessner, $d 1878-1962. 650 0 $a Forensic scientists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Forensic sciences $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Crime scenes $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Criminal investigation $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Large type books. 600 17 $a Lee, Frances Glessner, $d 1878-1962. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00466742 650 7 $a Crime scenes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883101 650 7 $a Criminal investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883201 650 7 $a Forensic sciences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00932011 650 7 $a Forensic scientists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00932020 650 7 $a Large type books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992678 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Melinek, Judy, $e introduction. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021136.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323021133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB758994142B11EBAC6C4C8254ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
