52 Stubborn Women. Scientists Who Changed the World

This is a book about women, whose names are unjustly less known solely due to their gender. Meanwhile, their scientific discoveries and research in the fields of medicine, biochemistry, biology, physiology, and archaeology have improved life on the planet, allowed... us to defeat deadly diseases, and expanded our knowledge of the world. Each of the heroines has taken a unique path, and each has faced society's rejection. They were overlooked and ignored, their achievements were attributed to men, and when that was not possible, their status as wives and mothers was emphasized first, while their professional merits were presented as a bonus. But they continued to work despite everything and emerged from this struggle as winners.
