Notability

Salmon was the first woman to serve on the Executive Committee of one of the largest and oldest professional organizations for historians in the United States. She was part of a cohort of American women historians who broke ground within the profession and the AHA, opening doors for future women historians. The method of historical practice in which she engaged and which she taught to her students was groundbreaking at the time and continues to be relevant today. There is a chair named after her at the college at which she taught. She was one of seven individuals, and the only woman, who helped shape the standards of secondary school history education in the United States in the early 20th century.
