Updating Author Page

[Myra]

Is there a process for updating a late author's bio page?

Elizabeth Seifert's is a bit off, in comparison to both The New York Times obituary and Radcliffe/Harvard's bio for Schlesinger Library (links pasted below), which has collected her complete works. Most specifically:

Goodreads says "poor health and family disapproval" stopped her medical aspirations.

NYT says she was in medical school 1.5 years and quit after "she was told women did not belong in medicine."

R/H says she "completed 18 months of medical school at Washington University, but she was denied degree candidacy."

The difference between illness/family and educational sexism is especially notable since her literary focus was on medicine and often female doctors struggling to be accepted as doctors.

The R/H link also includes a picture (her bio page has none).

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Is there nothing anyone can do?

If you want to write something up then some one can add it but we cannot copy and paste from other places due to copyright issues

Thanks the response.

To clarify, are you saying I can rewrite the biography or write an addendum to add? Either way, what are the bio/author guidelines? I'm happy to write something, but I'm sure there are rules to follow, especially since I am a random user and am not a GR librarian or associate of the author's.

I'm also happy to seek permission from Harvard's library so her author page includes her image, if there is a specific way I need to do that.
