Wholesale Sky Is for Everyone: Women Astronomers in Their Own Words

This is an anthology of autobiographical essays by trailblazing women astronomers who changed the face of modern astronomy. Virginia Trimble and David Weintraub describe how women had to have a father, brother, or husband to study the stars before 1900. Despite their intellectual skills, women astronomers struggled to access opportunities in the twentieth century. After decades of struggles, women are closer to equality in astronomy than ever before. This triumphant anthology serves as an inspiration for current and future generations of women scientists, giving voice to the history of a transformative era in astronomy. This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.
