A fascinating journey through the history of women in science. A just rediscovery of forgotten women.
Who was Enheduanna? And Émilie de Châtelet? Why do master brewers consider Hildegard of Bingen, an 11th century nun, their mentor? Did Marie Curie deserve the two Nobel Prizes for Science that she received? Would it have been possible to decipher the structure of DNA without the work of Rosalind Franklin? Why is the woman who unravelled the structure of penicillin so unknown? What role did women play in the Silver Age of Science during Spain’s Second Republic?
In this book, Adela Muñoz Páez rescues the history of some women who made relevant contributions to science. At the same time, she travels through history to explore why there were so few of them, and why they’re so unknown today.
