Years ago, my grandmother gave me a book called The 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century. With my new job comes the task of assigning names for the nine computers in a computer lab. I’m taking some inspiration from the famous scientists and doctors in the book. Sadly, despite owning the book for well over ten years, I didn’t recognize all of them.
- Virginia Apgar
- Helen Caldicott
- Marie Curie
- Rosalind Franklin
- Jane Goodall
- Grace Hopper
- Melanie Klein
- Mary Leakey
- Barbara McClintock
- Lise Meitner
Who else should make this list, from the 20th century or otherwise? I can think of these:
Sofia Kovalevskaya?
