... that Marianne Angermann developed a strain of black mice through inbreeding?

The NZB/Bl strain was developed by Dr. Marianne Bielschowsky in Dunedin, New Zealand, by inbreeding from an outbred colony of mixed coat color.

"Introduction". Briefe einer Antifaschistin. Marianne Angermann an ihre Eltern, Antifaschisten in Deutschland (seit ihrer Übersiedlung nach Spanien vom 22. Dezember 1935 bis 14. Juli 1936) Heft 1. Letters of an antifascist. Marianne Angermann to her parents, antifascists in Germany (from her move to Spain on 22nd December 1935 until 14th July 1936) Journal 1. Vol. 29.

The diploma notes that her chosen course of study was to be chemistry. That young women were not expected to advance this far in their schooling can be seen from the wording of the printed diploma itself, which ends with the stock phrase: "Der unterzeichnete Prüfungsausschuss hat ihm [sic] demnach das Zeugnis der Reife zuerkannt.” (“The undersigned examination committee has therefore conferred on him [sic] the university entrance diploma.”) In Marianne’s case, the male pronoun “him/ihm” has been struck out and overwritten with “her/ihr.” Despite the opportunities that had opened up for women in the workplace due to the manpower shortages of the First World War, it was still unusual for young women to complete secondary schooling with the intention of continuing at university.
