Summary:
During a time when women were often alienated from scientific study due to their gender, Caroline Herschel made significant contributions to the field of astronomy. Having discovered multiple comets and created her own star catalogue, Herschel was the first woman to be paid for her scientific research. This text includes ample historical context and primary source evidence to situate Herschel and her contributions to the field of astronomy during her time -- Publishers website.
