À propos de cet audio

 WINNER OF THE 2023 SCIENCE WRITERS AND COMMUNICATORS OF CANADA BOOK AWARD

"A vital, intimate chronicle of the indomitable women science pioneers who fought to better understand the universe." —Chris Hadfield, astronaut and #1 bestselling author

One of Canada's leading physicists celebrates the many, groundbreaking women scientists who came before her—unsung explorers of the cosmos who both discovered the fundamental rules of the universe and challenged social rules, yet whose names remain largely unknown to us.

Her Space, Her Time shares the stories of women in physics and astronomy whose work expanded scientific understanding yet whose accomplishments are often overlooked—creating a thrilling account of scientific discovery, inspirational leadership and persistence in the face of overwhelming challenges. In shaping her narrative around the science that fascinated them and the social context in which they worked, award-winning quantum physicist Shohini Ghose champions these remarkable women’s contributions, which loom even larger given the misogyny and discrimination they faced.

      Ghose's canvas stretches from the 19th century to the present and includes many women whose work led to Nobel Prizes that were ultimately awarded to men. Among this list of impressive scientists: Henrietta Leavitt and Margaret Burbidge, who helped discover the big bang and the cosmic calendar; Anigaduwagi (Cherokee) aerospace scientist Mary Golda Ross, who helped make the Moon landings possible; atom splitter Lise Meitner; Bibha Chowdhuri, who discovered two fundamental particles; and Harriet Brooks—a Canadian physicist whose impact on radioactivity research was compared to Marie Curie’s, but who felt that marriage, not science, was the choice she had to make.

      Engaging and inspirational, Her Space, Her Time is threaded through with Ghose's own experiences in science—women in STEM still face the same kind of challenges her subjects encountered—and driven by the imperative to make the invisible visible, ensuring that the names of these women who pursued science against all odds will never be forgotten.

This book is a must read for any stem enthusiast, but especially women. I love this book for showing me who all the amazing women in physics were in the last 200 years. These women would otherwise be invisible and it is so cool to know how they have impacted and contributed to our world. This book not only educated me on contributions of these wonderful women, but also reminding me of my love of physics and quantum computing. It was something I just found fascinating in university and reading this helped me remember that. I highly recommend this book!
