A decade before women gained the right to vote, Henrietta Leavitt and her fellow women “computers” transformed the science of astronomy. While at the Harvard Observatory, Leavitt found 2,400 new variable stars and made important discoveries about their fluctuating brightness, enabling fellow scientists to map the Milky Way and beyond.

Rosalind Franklin was a gifted research scientist who was part of the race to uncover the secrets of DNA in the 1950s. Her more famous contemporaries Watson and Crick took all the kudos for the discovery of the molecule’s double helix structure, yet it was Franklin’s skill with X-ray diffraction that first uncovered what’s called “the secret of life.”
