What an incredible woman and well worth reading about. A pioneer of her time, I find it strange that men were so misogynistic back then and some even today, but Marie Currie was long before this woman and there already were well established female academics, doctors and whatever by the 1930’s and 40’s. Australian women were permitted to study at university from the 1880’s.
I know an old lady here in Canberra that is a volcanologist and she would have no doubt found difficulty when she started in her field. I often see her when out shopping; I used to chat at a local club to her husband who is a musician.
