Great contest! I've shared it among the feminist-discord group, as I'm sure there will be people there eager to participate. Good luck to all the participants (myself included I hope) and judges.
Now only to figure out what you mean exactly with 'science'... do humanities fall under that, or is it STEM-science only?

This is such a great idea. We tend to forget the women who not only helped advance the sciences that we so easily take for granted, but who fought every day for the right to be treated as an equal in academic and scientific circles.

Without them, science wouldn't be what it is now, and neither would women's rights.

Here is my entry. A tribute to a new-found hero: Laura Bassi-Veratti.

It's not difficult to find outstanding women in science, the hard part is that they had recognition for their work. Therefore, I celebrate this iniciative as a tribute to all the women who made a difference. I will try to participate, but english is not my mother tongue.

jasonbu (61) · 7 years ago

That's great @annycor. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I hope that you consider entering.

Hello, very grateful for this contest, in this month of celebration of the international day of us women, which allows us to enter into scientific knowledge, but beyond that, in knowing who are the most prominent scientists in the exact sciences.
I am particularly interested in working with Latina women scientists, with an emphasis on Venezuelan women scientists, those who demonstrate beauty, intelligence and responsibility in their actions.

It was very difficult for me to do this, but I tried, because we are still looking for equity, the fight is not over for that reason, thanks again for the contest.

First of all, I would like to thank @jasonbu for this magnificent competition, which allows us to investigate history and learn that throughout the history of humanity there have been pioneering women in the field of science, who although they were not duly recognized at the time, nevertheless left a very important legacy. May this humble contribution serve to pay them a well-deserved tribute.

Hello my dear friend @jasonbu, for me this contest was very interesting, we always used to listen to the names of men for their contributions to science, however women also played an important role in the history of science, thanks for giving us the opportunity to learn about this topic.

In my case I wanted to share a little about the great contributions made by Hypatia of Alexandria who caused a stir in the history of science, I hope you like my research. Regards...

Excellent initiative! I congratulate them, because many women have excelled in the field of science, but the merits are given to men. Thank you very much for this contest.

I did manage to prepare my contest post! It took me a good 2 days, it is approximately 1400 words and I hope that you (most of all) enjoy reading it.
I found Emilie to be a very courageous, bright, brave lady of her time and learning about her can teach us a lot.
