Women Astronomers: Reaching for the Stars chronicles the history of women throughout history who devoted their lives and hearts to studying the cosmos, from EnHeduanna, the chief astronomer of the moon goddess of the city and Hypatia of Alexandria, a physicist and astronomer from centuries ago to the famed Sally Ride, the first woman to ever go into space. The book is a celebration of the brilliant and brave women who loved learning the mysteries of the galaxies and science, and an inspiration to young girls and women today who love learning about the stars and physics.
The book is filled with photos and illustrations to give a better visual to the lives of these astounding women, who dedicated so much of their lives to a science that is still vastly undiscovered. In today's age, there may be a disinterest to learn and be excited to want to expand the mind beyond the simple luxuries and pointless frivolities of life.
Women Astronomers, by Mabel Armstrong, may give hope to those little girls out there who love to read science books and sit under a dark, starry night, learning about constellations and far away planets.
