10. If you will indulge me...

In December I picked up a copy of "E=MC2 The Autobiograpy of the World's Most Famous Equation" at a Bizaar for $0.75.
It was well worth the money, as Author David Bodanis set out to explain the most important equation in the world to the general public and succeeded. It really surprised me that two women were among those who made large contrinbutions to the body of science behind this universal law. One, Madame Emilie du Chatelet's story had me in tears. Voltaire's lover, she funded and ran a scientific lab at her villa in France. Another more recent woman, Cecelia Payne never received credit or acclaim for her discovery of the chemical make of of the sun.
This book, though technically non-fiction, makes me want to write or read more about the lives of women living and working in the realm of science.
