Article is new enough, long enough, and I didn't find any policy issues. I have a problem with the hook. It makes it seem like Adolph was bringing his Yale work home for the two of them to work on since Yale wouldn't hire her. The source doesn't exactly support this. I'd rather the hook were something like:
ALT1: ... that geologist Adolph Knopf frequently collaborated with his wife
Eleanora Knopf, but when he worked at
Yale University she had to work out of his office because Yale refused to hire women?
Let me know if this ALT is acceptable and I can approve this DYK. Alternatively, I'd request that you suggest a different Hook. --

ALT1 is better; let's use it instead. I've made one
nitpicky change.
