Great Article Rebecca! Love how well they must have worked together. And i'm sure in those days women never got enough credit for whatever they did.

This reminds me of the Biopic Marie Curie i think its on Amazon Prime. She too was dismissed as not being qualified enough as a Chemist to work with the "big boys".

Have a great day!!

Thank you so much for reading Bryan! And thank you for the recommendation on Marie Curie! I will definitely check that out- I’ve always been curious to know more about her but never knew where to start so I look forward to checking out the biopic!

Wow! I was so touched by the story of that woman's greatness that I cried. Thank you!

Another great female pioneer was of course Marie Curie. There have been multiple books and movies about her. I wrote a review of one of the movies here: https://www.kurtkeefner.com/post/marie-curie-the-courage-of-knowledge

Thank you so much for reading, Kurt! I'm so glad you were moved by her story! There's an "American version" of Bertha Benz I plan on writing about soon as well. And I'll definitely be checking out your Curie review. I've always been very interested in her life so I need to familiarize myself with her far more than I am :)
