Taking readers from 1960 to today, this triumphant anthology serves as an inspiration to current and future generations of Women scientists while giving voice to the history of a transformative era in astronomy.
Trimble and Weintraub bring together the stories of the tough and determined Women who flung the doors wide open.
After decades of difficult struggles, Women are closer to equality in astronomy than ever before.
Virginia Trimble and David Weintraub vividly describe how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of Women Astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century.
