Adventures in Research: The Girl Who Loved Stars

  • Resumen

  • Join us for an enlightening episode of "Adventures in Research," where we explore the inspiring life of Maria Mitchell, America's first great woman scientist. Born in 1818 on Nantucket Island, Mariah defied societal norms and pursued her passion for astronomy, encouraged by her father.

    This episode recounts her remarkable journey from a young girl fascinated by the stars to the discoverer of a new comet, and ultimately, a pioneer in women's education at Vassar College.

    With a blend of storytelling and historical context, we witness Maria's struggles and triumphs as she navigates the male-dominated world of science, all while remaining true to her love for the cosmos.

    Original Air Date: February 16, 1954
