4000 Years of Women in Science

The central claim of this website is that people (both women and men) have been active in science for as long as we have been human, noting that "_Science_ -- the creation of structure for our world -- _technology_ -- the use of structure in our world -- and _mathematics_ -- the common language of structure -- all have been part of our human progress, through every step of our path to the present." They suggest since "most myths and religions place the beginnings of agriculture, of laws, of civilization, of mathematics, of calendars, time keeping and medicine into the hands of women," why would we not think these goddesses may have represented actual people? The website discusses the definition of science and scientific success, and provides biographical information about over 125 women in science, dating as far back as 634 BCE and leading into 1900. The growing collection also includes some photos. The sources for their data come from the bibliography listed online and "'private communications' with knowledgeable individuals." Visitors are invited to email with any contributions they might have to add to this collection.
