Description
Women in the sciences have historically been pushed aside and their achievements minimized or even ignored. Their male peers have often stolen women’s work, or demeaned it for personal gain. Female mathematicians had to adopt male pseudonyms to receive recognition, and female researchers were routinely dismissed as assistants or technicians. This course highlights the accomplishments of numerous women scientists, and the often-disgraceful treatment they received.
