Marie Curie A glowing particle of radium sat in the dark with all of its pitchblende dirt particle buddies. A sliver of light was let in by the almost shut door, and as the sliver grew bigger, the shadow of a woman appeared on the ground.

throne. Hatshepsut, the first female pharaoh of Egypt, suffered ridicule because she was a woman. I think of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor, and how medical colleges at first refused to allow her to attend lectures because of her sex.
