Timeline

1927

Sophie Dobzhansky's parents, Natalia Sivertzeva and Theodosius Dobzhansky, the geneticist and evolutionary biologist, had emigrated to the United States from the USSR in 1927.

1933

Sophie Dobzhansky Coe (July 7, 1933 – May 25, 1994) was an anthropologist, food historian, and author, who studied the history of chocolate.

Sophie, their only child, was born in Pasadena, California in 1933, and the family moved to New York in 1940, when she was seven years old.

1940

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Dobzhansky spent her summers assisting at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where Barbara McClintock, the Nobel Prize-winning cytogeneticist, was said to value the gentleness with which Dobzhansky cared for her experimental plants.

1955

Dobzhansky graduated in 1955 from Radcliffe College with a major in anthropology, where she mastered Russian and Portuguese, and was known for keeping a pet tarantula in a bottle.

On 5 June 1955, the summer of her undergraduate graduation and the day before her final exam in Byzantine history, Dobzhansky married Michael D. Coe in a Russian Orthodox ceremony in New York City.

Coe was a professor at Yale, an archaeologist, and anthropologist known for his work on Maya civilisation and pre-Columbian Mesoamerican.

They travelled and worked together extensively.

1964

She married shortly before graduation and received her Ph.D. in anthropology from Harvard in 1964.

1967

Coe translated selected chapters of Yuri Knorozov's "The Writing of the Maya Indians" (1967).

Knorosov based his studies on De Landa's phonetic alphabet and is credited with originally breaking the Maya code.

Coe's translation played a major role in legitimizing his previously derided theories.

She also studied native New World cooking, writing a number of scholarly essays for Petits Propos Culinaires (PPC).

1969

In 1969, they bought Skyline Farm, in Heath, Massachusetts, where Sophie honed her cooking and gardening skills.

They had five children—Nicholas, Andrew, Sarah, Peter, and Natalie.

1994

Her research in this area culminated in America's First Cuisines (1994).

Sophie Coe died of cancer in 1994.

1996

This work contained a substantial amount of material on chocolate, which she decided to expand upon for her next book, The True History of Chocolate (1996).

She became seriously ill during its research and writing; it was published posthumously in 1996, having been completed by her widower, Michael D. Coe.

It is now in its third edition.

Coe built an extensive collection of books on culinary history, nearly 1,000 volumes from around the world dating from the eighteenth century onward, as well as a group of manuscript cookbooks.

She donated her collection of community cookbooks to the Schlesinger Library before her death, and afterward, her husband gave the library the rest of her collection.

After her death, Michael Coe, with the help of their friends Alan Davidson and Harlan Walker, set up the Sophie Coe Prize, a charitable trust based in the UK.

The prize is awarded annually at the Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery (which Coe attended every year) to an outstanding and original essay or book chapter in food history.
