History of Women in Science – in pictures

I really love this article about history of women in science. Bedford College – now known as Royal Holloway, University of London – was founded in 1849 and attracted notable alumni, including Sarah Parker Remond, the first black woman to lecture across Britain on slavery, and novelist George Eliot. The college’s labs were used by students to dissect crabs, explore botany – and find out why weak hearts fail.

  1. I looked at the goggle search couple days ago finding the international women's day. In my opinion. They deserve to have a day and recognition for all the hard labor and efforts in different areas, and they have progressed in the society from the bottom. Marie Curie was an European scientist and exceptional example for this day. If we look for women who have left a mark in the history of humanity, we should find an extensive list of women. For example, the list of female scientist on the internet from Wikipedia web page. We do not know so much about how women has impacted areas like mathematics, biology, medicine, chemistry, astronomy, and the list keep going.
    Thank so much for remind us for the article.
