Marion Hart
Edit ProfileCareer
Hart was the fourth of six children of Isaac Rice, a businessman who founded the Electric Boat Company (producer of submarines for the United States Navy and others). Their mother Julia B. Rice founded the Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noises in New York City. According to the cultural historian Hillel Schwartz, as paraphrased by a New Yorker journalist: They built a four-story mansion on the tree-lined drive, then a place replete with coaches and foreign servants, and largely free from cars.
Julia had a medical degree.
Isaac, a venture capitalist, invested in things like air compressors, submarines, and the “pickled energy” that powered electric vehicles." Julia Rice"s campaign resulted in a federal law "quieting the whistles of ships in federal waters". Hart was the first woman to graduate in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received a masters in geology from Columbia University.
