The Glass Universe: A Little-Known True Story of Women in Science
Before the women's suffrage movement, a group of remarkable women worked at Harvard College Observatory, interpreting observations made via telescope by their male counterparts each night. Dava Sobel sheds light on the hidden history of these extraordinary women who changed the field of astronomy and our understanding of the stars and our place in the universe.
This captivating story reveals the contributions of these 'Human Computers', who played a crucial role in the burgeoning field of astronomy in the 19th century.
