Grace Annie Lockhart (married name Dawson; 22 February 1855 – 18 May 1916) was a Canadian teacher and women’s rights advocate, known for being the first women in Canada and the British Empire to earn a Bachelor of Science. The youngest of four sisters in an upper middle-class family, Lockhart's mother died 9 months after she was born. Lockhart was subsequently raised by families' housekeeper Rosanna Wilson (died 1863), who became her surrogate mother, and by her older sisters.
