Today, and everyday, I am grateful for all the women who came before me and those here now.. Those who fought and continue to fight for a woman‘s place at the table. Those who do the hard work of caring for their communities, who are fighting against the atrocities that are happening on our streets. Those who remind us that we are all human, we all deserve dignity and caring for your neighbor is the point. They give me strength.

Each chapter in this impressive, informative read follows a female scientist influenced by Marie Curie while also sharing her astounding story. Marie's love of science still influences young scientists today, and her dedication to learning is infectious.

This book is well written and the perfect mix of science and personal reflections.

Up next on audio. This might make a good candidate for #HiddenHistory @Librarybelle

None of the books that I read wholly within March were noteworthy, so the tagged book is one of the favorites I finished in March. I need to get a copy so I have a reference of artists that I want to treasure hunt in museums.

I did also greatly enjoy Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.

This was interesting Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman admitted to medical school in the states, her sister Emily followed a few years later. Emily had a harder time being taken seriously and being able to complete her degree. They focused on women‘s health not totally by choice. They opened what would become the first women‘s hospital in NYC.
They had their flaws.
I could used more, not sure what more just more.
Worth the read and time.

If you‘ve followed me for long you know I love a strong, badass woman and the (white) woman admitted to medical school would fall into that category. The fact that the male students agreed to admit her as a joke and then she was a damned good student and earned the respect of her fellow students and instructors, perfect.
I‘ll probably finish this tomorrow.

LoverOfLearning Sounds like a read me and my bookclub would so enjoy! 4mo

Absolutely fascinating to learn additional medical history from a female trailblazing (and often times ridiculed) account of so many remarkable women medical staff, some patients, and the family and societies that surrounded them.

A fascinating look into the often forgotten and erased women who helped to build the study of Egyptology into what it is today.

This was so interesting! It covered a lot of time, and several different women who all influenced Egyptology. I really appreciated how the author emphasized the presence of LGBTQ women, & the role all these white women played in the colonialism against Egypt. It was a bit dry, but well worth the read. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

New audiobook from the library in my ears. So far it‘s making me want to 😱 at the patriarchy. But I love the medical history too!

Librarybelle I‘ve wondered about this one. Interested to see what you think of it. 5mo
