. a scientist-nun . a woman doctor who dressed as a man . a mathematical martyr . a woman who had a moon crater named after her . a maths whiz who lost a fortune on the horses . women in space...and much, much more! Extraordinary women - from 400 BC to the present day Read about the 'mother of computer programming'; the discoverer of sex chromosomes; an astronomer who began as her brother's assistant and went on to discover eight comets and win gold medals from two kings; a physicist who discovered the secret of nuclear fission. Stories like these show that women can do science and that science is far more than just white coats and laboratories, it can change our lives. |
