Extraordinary Women in Science & Medicine: Four Centuries of Achievement

The Grolier Club 47 East 60th Street, New York, NY 10022

From the press release:

The Grolier Club is pleased to present a landmark exhibition exploring the legacy of thirty-two remarkable women whose extraordinary scientific accomplishments in physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, computing, and medicine changed science. […]

Artifacts including books, manuscripts, serials, Ph.D. theses, and laboratory apparatus (such as that used by Marie Curie during her earliest work on radioactivity) will be on view, providing a remarkable overview of the scientific contributions of this eminent group. […]

The exhibition is designed to pose questions about women’s recognition—or lack thereof—in the sciences. Topics treated include educational opportunities, role models, the use of social capital, individual styles of doing science, and gender issues associated with society norms of the periods. […]

Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
