Miss Leavitt's Stars Feminist Theory

Miss Leavitt's Stars Feminist TheoryGeorge Johnson brings to life Henrietta Swan Leavitt, who found the key to the vastness of the universe in the form of a "yardstick" suitable for measuring it. Unknown in our day, Leavitt was no more recognized in her own: despite her enormous achievement, she was employed by the Harvard Observatory as a mere number cruncher, at a wage not dissimilar from that of workers in the nearby textile mills. Miss Leavitt's Stars uncovers her neglected history.
