Most any good reproductive biology text gives citations for early
descriptions of the sex steroids. Try Reproduction in Domestic Animals by
HH Cole and PT Cupps, 1997 or Marshall's Physiology of Reproduction,
1966. Allen & Doisy and Aschheim & Zondek are generally credited with
demonstrating presence of estrogenic substances by bioassay. Crystalline
estrone was prepared and described in 1931.
