Too many sciences!

It's been fun exploring the women linked in the various pages - e.g., Vera Rubin and Dark Matter.

Since when are women allowed to be scientists?

Laura Heit's animated short about the paleontologist Mary Anning (mentioned in the first link) was one of the most inspiring and moving things that I saw last year.

Thank you, I am going to spend a lot of time sharing this with my children.

Just to add, the In Our Time podcast had an episode on women in science during the Enlightenment several weeks ago. It was fantastic!

I'd like to see a feature film made about each of these women.
