More about the book

Focusing on the often-overlooked contributions of female scientists, this book presents the biographies of twenty-five women, particularly in astronomy and mathematics, from En HeduAnna to Caroline Herschel. Each biography is structured as a "personal file," providing historical context, key works, intriguing facts, and relevant citations. Highlighting figures like Hypatia of Alexandria and Maria Gaetana Agnesi, it sheds light on the significant roles these women played in science over 4000 years, despite the challenges of a male-dominated environment.
