Foster taught library science at the Drexel Institute from 1937-1948 and is best known for her 1956 book, Sex variant women in literature; a historical and quantitative survey. This biography is, according to author Passet, "a study of lesbian struggle, empowerment and triumph amid the persistent hostilities of twentieth-century America." You can read it at the University Archives, on the lower level of Hagerty Library.
