Maria Joanna Olszewska, studia wyższe inżynierskie ukończyła na Wydziale Ogrodniczym Wyższej Szkoły Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego w Łodzi (1946-49), a tytuł magistra uzyskała w 1950 r. na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim. Stopień doktora (kandydata nauk) Profesor Olszewska uzyskała w 1956 r., stopień doktora habilitowanego – 1960 r., tytuł profesora nadzwyczajnego – 1969 r. a tytuł profesora zwyczajnego – 1976 r. Wyrazem uznania dla wybitnych osiągnięć naukowych prof. dr hab. Marii J. Olszewskiej było wybranie Jej w roku 1989 r. na członka-korespondenta Polskiej Akademii Nauk, a w roku 2004 na członka rzeczywistego PAN. W latach 1961-70 Prof. dr hab. Maria J. Olszewska była kierownikiem Zakładu Cytochemii na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim, a w latach 1970-1999 – kierownikiem Katedry Cytologii i Cytochemii Roślin w UŁ. Dzięki wprowadzaniu nowoczesnych metod badawczych z zakresu cytochemii i cytogenetyki molekularnej, w Katedrze tej powstała szkoła naukowa, w ramach której wiele osób uzyskało stopnie doktora i doktora habilitowanego, a także tytuły
