Abstract

Extract: "Throughout her career, Cahn fought a running battle with the university's head of biochemistry, Victor Trikojus, who thought of nutrition as "soft" or "women's" science. However, her discipline received support from other quarters. In the late 1940s, Melbourne University was given £20,000 by Nicholas Pty Ltd (Aspro) to set up a nutrition department. This was combined with £50,000 from the Russell Grimwade legacy and used to build a new biochemistry building. When the building was completed in 1961, a nutrition and dietetics unit was set up, and Cahn, now a senior lecturer in nutrition and applied dietetics, continued in charge."
