L'histoire inconnue des femmes qui ont fait avancer la science. On y découvre les vies réelles de ces femmes qui ont dû se battre pour pouvoir s'adonner à une passion que, longtemps, la société a réservée aux hommes : la passion de connaître et de comprendre, c'est-à-dire la recherche intellectuelle, et plus exactement la recherche scientifique. Car il y eut, même si elles furent peu nombreuses, des femmes-chercheurs, des femmes savantes ! Une documentation abondante sur ces femmes qui ont participé, parfois de façon décisive, au progrès de la science, à l'avancée du savoir humain.

Whitlock and Evans introduce us to some of the women-- physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors-- who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions. These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women. Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these women has made the world a better place. -- adapted from jacket Ten Women Who Changed Science tells the moving stories of the physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions, and outlines their remarkable achievements. These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women their science and their lives were driven by personal tragedies and shaped by seismic world events. What drove these remarkable women to cure previously incurable diseases, disprove existing theories or discover new sources of energy? Some were rewarded with the Nobel Prize for their pioneering achievements - Madame Curie, twice - others were not and, even if they had, many are not household names. Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these women, in a variety of ways, has made the world a better place
