Beskrivelse af Maria Mitchell
""Maria Mitchell: Life, Letters And Journals"" is a comprehensive biography of Maria Mitchell, an American astronomer who was the first woman to discover a comet. The book is written by Maria Mitchell herself, and it includes her personal letters and journals, as well as commentary and analysis by the editor, Phebe Mitchell Kendall (Maria's niece). The book covers Mitchell's life from her childhood in Nantucket, Massachusetts, to her years as a professor of astronomy at Vassar College. It also delves into her work as a feminist and abolitionist, and her involvement in the suffrage movement. Through her own words and those of her contemporaries, readers gain insight into the life and achievements of this remarkable woman who defied gender and societal norms to pursue her passion for science.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
