This display was inspired by our acquisition in March 2016 of Grace Chisholm Young's heavily annotated copy of the book she co-authored with her husband, mathematician W.H. Young, The Theory of Sets of Points (CUP 1906). The display features material on a wide range of topics by women who were scholars, educators and interpreters of scientific information from the mid 18th to the early 20th centuries.

By Clare Matthews

On display November 2016 - April 2017.
