Clara Abbott was the first woman who served as a corporate director in America.[1] She served on the board of Abbott Laboratories from 1900 to 1908 and from 1911 to 1924 before the company was publicly listed. She was married to the company's founder Wallace Abbott.[1]
She died on January 2, 1924 in Chicago.[2] In her will, she left 12,000 shares of Abbott Laboratories stock to be used “in furtherance of my beloved husband’s profession and work.” Her will included a provision to establish a charity for Abbott employees.[3]
