Quoting from Wikepedia:
Clarissa MacDougall. She is a beautiful, curvaceous, red-haired nurse, who eventually becomes the first human female to receive her own Lens. Their children, a boy and two pairs of fraternal twin sisters, grow up to be the five Children of the Lens. In their breeding, "almost every strain of weakness in humanity is finally removed". They are born already possessing the powers taught to second-stage Lensmen.

Smith may have been pro-Eugenics but his Arisian certainly
were believers in that racist and disproven philosophy..

 Could you provide a specific page? I'd like to edit it to fix (at least)
the way that Clarrissa's name was spelled in the books. I'm also skeptical
of the idea that Kay/Kat and Cam/Con were fraternal rather than identical.
 

I just entered E.E.Smith and Lenswoman in the search and
took the answer. I think correctors of text on the Internet are
ambitious but they need to look up using hopefully DuckDuckGo the
not too invasive search engine the matter for themselves.
It has been about 60 years since I read Smith's amazing
tales of Super-Science and Arisian heroics. It was stunning until
I saw how the output of a nuclear reactor softened Bus Bars larger
than a human body so that they slumped on their supports. That at
Idaho's USN reactor test site.
