Louise Arner Boyd (1887-1972) was an American explorer of the Arctic Ocean region (1920's-40's), and the first woman to fly over the North Pole. She was born into a wealthy San Rafael family and inherited their fortune and home in 1920, spending the next few years traveling in Europe before beginning her Arctic expeditions.
