Comment
Scientific instruments in the 1900's are as inscrutable as the scientific instruments now. Definitely not your basic chemistry set.
She was amazing in the real sense of that word.
So much so that she was respected by male scientists in a era that women were still considered inferior and couldn't even vote in most places. The STEAM areas are still a chalenge for woman to this day, imagine how much of a boss you would have to be on the 1800 early 1900
