About this book:

Women in Science: Their Forgotten Legacy Discover the hidden heroines who shaped science against all odds. *Women in Science: Their Forgotten Legacy* unveils the extraordinary stories of female pioneers, from ancient healers and astronomers to the brilliant minds behind modern breakthroughs. This compelling journey through millennia exposes the systemic barriers women faced—and their indomitable spirit in pushing boundaries, from Hypatia’s celestial innovations to the unsung labors of human computers and midwives whose knowledge laid the groundwork for medical science.
