From the ancient world to the present women have been critical to the progress of science, yet their importance is overlooked, their storiesÂ*lost, distorted, or actively suppressed. Forces of Nature sets the record straight and charts the fascinating history of women’s discoveries in science.
Â*
In the ancient and medieval world, women served as royal physicians and nurses,
taught mathematics, studied the stars, and practiced midwifery. As natural philosophers, physicists, anatomists, and botanists, they were central to the great intellectual flourishing of the
Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. More recently women have been crucially involved in the Manhattan Project, pioneering space missions and much more. Despite their record of
illustrious achievements, even today very few women win Nobel Prizes in science.
Â*
In this thoroughly researched, authoritative work, you will discover how women have navigated a male-dominated scientific culture – showing themselves to be
pioneers and
trailblazers, often without any recognition at all.Â*Included in the book are the stories of:
Hypatia of Alexandria, one of the earliest recorded female mathematicians
Maria Cunitz who corrected errors in Kepler’s work
Emmy Noether who discovered fundamental laws of physics
Vera Rubin one of the most influential astronomers of the twentieth century
Jocelyn Bell Burnell who helped discover pulsars
