Abstract
- Helen Sawyer Hogg was an esteemed member of the RASC. She served as the Society's President from 1957-1959 and Honorary President from 1977 to 1981. She was famous for her research on globular clusters, particularly their variable stars. In addition, her bibliographies and catalogues were highly valued. However, it is not as widely known that some of her early research had a significant impact on the cosmic distance scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
