Welcome to Women's History Month. This week we feature Sam Cohen's article for Iowa Starting Line, "Meet 7 women who broke barriers in astronomy for Women's History Month." Cohen presents some of astronomy's most famous women as the month kicks off.
"In recognition of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the lives and careers of seven pioneering women who have made history with their scientific achievements.
Many corners of the scientific world have been profoundly impacted by the work of women. They’ve blazed a trail across every field, breaking down barriers for themselves and others in the process. These extraordinary women have discovered comets, created classification systems, and stared into the abyss of black holes.
From the first Indian woman in space to the “Hidden Figures” of NASA, these women have made significant contributions to astronomy and beyond."
