Discover the groundbreaking work of Alice A. Ball in her Master’s thesis, The Chemical Constituents of Piper Methysticum, presented in June 1915. As the first woman and African American to earn a Master’s Degree from the University of Hawaii, Balls research delves into the rich history of the kava (ava) roots usage in the South Pacific. She meticulously isolates and analyzes the extracts of kava, offering preliminary observations on its effects when administered to animals. This fascinating text not only highlights the scientific inquiry of the time but also honors the legacy of a pioneering figure in botanical research. - Summary by J. M. Smallheer
