HTML:<p><b>From the ancient world to the present women have been critical to the progress of science, yet their importance is overlooked, their stories lost, distorted, or actively suppressed. <i>Forces of Nature</i> sets the record straight and charts the fascinating history of women's discoveries in science.</b><br /> <br /> In the ancient and medieval world, women served as royal physicians and nurses, <b>taught mathematics, studied the stars, and practiced midwifery</b>. As natural philosophers, physicists, anatomists, and botanists, they were central to the great intellectual flourishing of the <b>Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment</b>. More recently women have been crucially involved in the Manhattan Project, pioneering space missions and much more. Despite their record of <b>illustrious achievements</b>, even today very few women win Nobel Prizes in science.<br /> <br /> In this thoroughly researched, authoritative work, you will discover how women have navigated a male-dominated scientific culture – showing themselves to be <b>pioneers</b> and <b>trailblazers</b>, often without any recognition at all. Included in the book are the stories of:</p> <ul> <li>Hypatia of Alexandria, one of the earliest recorded female mathematicians</li> <li>Maria Cunitz who corrected errors in Kepler's work</li> <li>Emmy Noether who discovered fundamental laws of physics</li> <li>Vera Rubin one of the most influential astronomers of the twentieth century</li> <li>Jocelyn Bell Burnell who helped discover pulsars</li> </ul>.
