Many women made great discoveries in the field of astronomy but often couldn't benefit, due to their gender

llwheeler That's exactly the time period and subject I'm reading about now

UglyOldBat @llwheeler Sounds interesting! 7y
UglyOldBat @llwheeler Are you enjoying it? 7y
llwheeler @abandonallhope I am, about half through the audiobook. I don't read a lot of non-fiction, so at times i am finding it a bit dry, but i'd recommend it so far if you're into the history of science/history of women in science 7y
