The Times Great Women's Lives : A Celebration in Obituaries.

Author:	Sue Corbett; Lucy Worsley
Publisher:	Stroud : The History Press, 2014
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	With entries dating from 1872 to 2013, Great Women's Lives - the latest in The Times' series of anthologies of its obituaries - focuses attention on almost two centuries of ground-breaking achievements by more than 100 women, not just from Britian but around the world. Mary Somerville (d. 1872), the pioneering mathematician and scientist with whose obituary the anthology begins, would have been astonished by what many of the other women remembered here achieved - not least one of the more prominent graduates of the Oxford college that was named Somerville after her - Margaret Thatcher (d. 2013). Great Women's Lives also recalls the lives of actresses, aviators, botanists, doctors, iconic members of the British royal family, musicians, Nobel Prize winners, novelists, travellers, US first ladies, and many more.
