Maria Mitchell: The Soul of an Astonomer Paperback - 2003
by Beatrice Gormley
In the mid-1800s, women were often thought to be unworthy of higher education. But Maria Mitchell rose above the prejudices of her day to become America's first professional woman astronomer. Photos.
First line
On August 1, 1818, in the "birthing room" off the kitchen of a gray-shingled house in Nantucket, a baby girl was born to William and Lydia Mitchell.
From the rear cover
In the mid-1800s, a turbulent time when women were often thought to be unworthy of higher education, Maria Mitchell rose above the prejudices of the day to become America's first professional woman astronomer. This exciting biography tells the story of Maria Mitchell's life, her amazing achievements, and her faith that saw God's handiwork in the heavens.
"Gormley successfully paints a picture of a world that failed to mold Mitchell to its standards, focusing on the telling details that bring the story to life. Inspiring and incisive." -- "Kirkus Reviews"
