Longread In February 1980,  President Jimmy Carter issued a proclamation 📢 declaring the week of March 8, "National Women's History Week." By 1986, fourteen states had declared March 'International Women's History Month,' (including Ohio, woot woot! 🎉)  and since 1988, every President has issued an annual proclamation declaring March Women's History Month 📜. This year, the theme for Women's History Month, as decided by the National Women's History Project, is "Nevertheless, She Persisted. Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms of Discrimination." History hasn't always been kind to women (among MANY others, of course), but in honor of this month's national focus, this article highlights a few women from history who had a profound impact on the world of science. 🔭🔬Newsweek: 5 Women in Science History You May Not Know
