Science, mathematics, and the natural world — through their eyes.
Marie Curie
1867–1934 · Warsaw, Poland / Paris, France
She won two Nobel Prizes in two different sciences. When she arrived at university, the men hissed.
Ada Lovelace
1815–1852 · London, England
She described the computer in 1843 — 100 years before it was built. No one believed her either.
Hedy Lamarr
1914–2000 · Vienna, Austria / Hollywood, USA
Hollywood called her the most beautiful woman in the world. They forgot she invented the technology behind WiFi.
Katherine Johnson
1918–2020 · White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, USA
She calculated the trajectory that sent humans to the moon. For decades, NASA's records didn't even list her name.
Jane Goodall
1934–present · London, England
She had no science degree when she went to Tanzania. She came back with findings that changed how we understand all animal life.
