For International Women's Day, here are another 12 women from chemistry history, whose achievements range from the discovery of the greenhouse effect to the production of wrinkle-free cotton fabrics: https://lnkd.in/e2ZBXgvf View more women from chemistry history and contemporary women in chemistry too at the site's Women in Chemistry page: https://lnkd.in/e386UbWg
A couple of other unsung women in chemistry: 1. Elizabeth Fulhame. As early as 1794 she published a book describing catalysis of redox reactions by hydrogen. She is then, a precursor to Berzelius (Laidler and Corhish-Bowden (1997) in New Beer in an Old Bottle: Eduard Buchner and the Growth of Biochemical Knowledge, pp. 123–126, ed. A. Cornish-Bowden, Universitat de València, Valencia, Spain. 2. Maria Manaseina. In 1872 she may have described cell-free enzyme activity earlier than Buchner. (Athel Cornish-Bowden (1999) "The Origins of Enzymology," The Biochemist 19(2), 36–38. http://bip.cnrs-mrs.fr/bip10/thebct.htm) Thanks to Athel Cornish Bowden for putting them at the front in enzyme chemistry.
Another inspiring list. We owe so much to these amazing women.
Perfect way to mark the day !
