Breaking Barriers:Women, Science & History

Over a century ago, the physicist Hertha Ayrton declared: “I do not agree with sex being brought into science at all.  The idea of “woman and science” is completely irrelevant.  Either a woman is a good scientist, or she is not”.  Her ideal vision of equality has still not been achieved, but putting women back into scientific history can help to explain modern attitudes.
