Anne Innis Dagg is a tough, straight-talking, trailblazing woman, dedicated to science and social justice. In 1956, she went to South Africa to study giraffes. She wrote a book after her time in Africa that is still considered to be the giraffe bible by many in the field.

But there’s a good chance you don’t know her. She was actually in Africa observing wildlife before Jane Goodall. So why has she been forgotten? What is the story of Anne Innis Dagg?

She is the revolutionary biologist and women's rights advocate you’ve most likely never heard of. 

You can learn even more about her story by watching this documentary film.

Anne Innis Dagg had a curiosity and love for giraffes that took her to South Africa in the 1950s. Little was known about them in western science at the time. Anne would change that.
