While working on treatments for melanoma, Jewel Plummer Cobb tested Methotrexate and found it effective on skin and lung cancer, as well as childhood leukemia. She is a child of freed slaves. She was famous for her work in cancer treatments.

Methotrexate is used for a broad range of cancers, including Breast cancer. This persistent woman, almost denied a college education, went on to earn her full degrees and was given 22 honorary doctorates and many other academic awards.
