A history of women in Astronomy - Part 2


Speaker: Mary McIntyre FRAS


Following on from part one, this talk tells the stories of some of the trailblazing women working in astronomy after Caroline Herschel. There were many more women working in astronomy during the Victorian era and into the 20th Century but they still faced many challenges, particularly around education, sexism and failure to have their work recognised.

She received a 2021 Sir Patrick Moore Prize from the BAA and is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.
