Edith Alicia M ller (1918-1995) was the IAU General Secretary from
1976 to 1979, the first woman to have this responsibility. Many
friends, students and colleagues, and others who have met Edith at
different occasions, give in this book their memories of her. Her
fundamental work in solar physics concerned the chemical
composition of the Sun, the time variation of its infra-red
spectrum, and its thermal structure. Her interests were, however,
far broader than that. She was heavily involved in international
work for the teaching of astronomy and for the exchange program of
young astronomers.
