When Sofya Kovalevskaya obtained the position of full professor at Stockholm University, it was an exceptional accomplishment on behalf of women.
Laura Maria Caterina Bassi received her Ph.D. at 21 years of age. She was the first woman to earn a professorship in physics at a university. As a trailblazer for women in STEM, she was one of the first women in science to accomplish so much! Her story is truly memorable.
