Maria Anna (or Marianne) van Hewerden received a doctorate working under the professor of histology at the University of Utrecht in 1905. Her thesis was published as Bijdrage tot de kennis van menstrueelen cyclus en puerperium (Leiden: Brill, 1905). Hewerden's data suggested that the macaque specimens from Java that she studied had an ovulatory cycle and that menstruation could occur without ovulation. From 1908 to 1934 she was an instructor at the University of Utrecht. Hartman, an American anatomist and embryologist, cited her work to support his own findings on primate menstrual cycles in 1931-1932.

First 38 psges of van Herwerden's thesis translated from the Dutch by Carl G. Hartman sometime betwen 1905 and 1931 when his own research was publsihed. This bound carbon copy of the typed translation became the property of Dr. Gertrude van Wagenen at Yale. Bound with the translation is Van Wagenen's correspondence with the National Library of Medicine in 1960 to clarify the original work by Herwerden that was translated.
