Résumé

The First American Star: Maria Mitchell and the Revolution in ScienceIn 1847, Maria Mitchell-a self-taught Quaker librarian from Nantucket-shattered the myth of female intellectual inferiority by discovering a comet. Her achievement won her a gold medal and made her the first internationally recognized American woman scientist. This definitive biography traces Mitchell's life from her rigorous, math-centric upbringing on the whaling island to her historic appointment as Professor of Astronomy at Vassar College in 1865.
Mitchell was not just a scientist; she was a revolutionary educator. She transformed the Vassar Observatory into a working research lab for women, demanded equal pay for equal work, and mentored the legendary "Maria Mitchell's Girls." Her legacy is a testament to the belief that the only limit to one's vision should be the edge of the universe itself. Discover the full, analytical story of the woman who used the authority of the cosmos to fight for social equity on Earth.
