Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an exploration into the diverse lives and works of British women who contributed to the field of astronomy, from the 17th century up through the 19th and early 20th centuries. The author has combed historical archives, pulling together data to present nearly 100 women who have assisted in advancing the field, many of them previously unknown to the world. The book includes entries for women famed in their time such as Caroline Herschel, Mary Somerville, and Agnes Mary Clerke, but also includes women whose work fell to obscurity such as Margaret Huggins, who assisted her husband in his study of stellar spectroscopy. The author details the discrimination and other societal barriers these women faced, how they overcame those barriers, and what it meant to be a female astronomer during those times. The author impresses on the reader the significance of the contributions these women made, not only to the field of astronomy, but to the advancement of women's role in society.
