 First paragraph: ""Her contributions to plant palaeontology and coal classification were significant, and she was the first female academic on the faculty of the University of Manchester."" I suggest: ""Her contributions to plant palaeontology and coal classification were significant. She was the first female academic on the faculty of the University of Manchester."" The two parts of that sentence are related, but the second portion should stand on its own.
