Remarkable Women: Reclaiming Their Stories
by Alice Look
From Ada Lovelace, who in 1843 became the first computer programmer, to Opal Lee, the "grandmother of Juneteenth", to Katalin Kariko, the 2023 Nobel prize winner whose groundbreaking work made COVID-19 vaccines possible, remarkable women have changed our world.
Remarkable Women: Reclaiming Their Stories introduces you to 23 women who have made a difference as activists, scientists, inventors, bold creatives, fearless journalists and aviators. Throughout history, they took breathtaking risks and overcame tremendous societal, gender, and racial barriers to make their mark on society and culture.
Most of these important stories have not been celebrated – until now.

Every week, we share the stories of remarkable women throughout history. 2024 blog posts are sponsored by our production partner, Cutter Entertainment.

Astrophysicists today still use the Harvard System of Spectral Classification, which was first developed by Cannon in 1901.
