Marie Tharpe

Frank A. brought my attention to this video on Marie Tharpe at the New York Times.

Other scientists dismissed her work as “girl talk,” but she refused to back down — and changed the way we see the planet.

You can also read more about her here. In the words of the late James Brown, “This is a man’s world, this is a man’s world, But it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.”
