En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the life of one of America's pioneering professional astronomers, the narrative explores the societal and cultural shifts that contributed to the male dominance in the field of science. It delves into the challenges faced by women in academia and highlights the significant contributions of female astronomers, while also examining the broader implications of gender roles in scientific progress. Through this lens, the book provides a critical look at the evolution of astronomy and the obstacles that have historically hindered women's participation.
