As for opportunities for women, even when women managed to make huge advancements in science (and other fields), their contributions are often side notes in history. That makes them even more impressive--to overcome the odds and disregard the prejudice that kept them from the same education opportunities as men. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-29768898353872180862020-02-18T07:13:01.538-06:002020-02-18T07:13:01.538-06:00The first half is biographical, but the second hal...The first half is biographical, but the second half about her work is fascinating for anyone who loves books or television about forensics!

Just think too where we might be in the world now in terms of scientific advancement if women had had the same opportunities in the 19th and 20th century as men!Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-63344562400781917962020-02-17T15:21:39.453-06:002020-02-17T15:21:39.453-06:00I've read a little about her...just enough to ...I've read a little about her...just enough to make me want to learn more.
