Discovery Session – Forgotten Women of Science

You may know that Ada Lovelace, daughter of Romantic poet Lord Byron, is considered the world’s first computer programmer and that 1940s actress Hedy Lamarr is often referred to as the “mother of wifi” but have you heard of the woman who wrote a comprehensive catalogue of the stars that was published under her brother’s name, or the women’s rights campaigner who discovered the greenhouse effect? Come learn about the women of science whose discoveries have been forgotten, ignored, credited to – or stolen by – their male colleagues.

Cost $5.00. Book and pay online.
