The genius of Marie Curie: Marie SkĹodowska Curieâs revolutionary research laid the groundwork for our understanding of physics and chemistry, blazing trails in oncology, technology, medicine, and nuclear physics, to name a few. But what did she actually do? Shohini Ghose expounds on some of Marie SkĹodowska Curieâs most revolutionary discoveries.
The contributions of female explorers: During the Victorian Age, women were unlikely to become great explorers, but a few intelligent, gritty and brave women made major contributions to the study of previously little-understood territory. Courtney Stephens examines three women â Marianne North, Mary Kingsley and Alexandra David-NĂŠel â who wouldnât take no for an answer (and shows why we should be grateful that they didnât).
Equality, sports and Title IX: In 1972, U.S. Congress passed Title IX, a law which prohibited discrimination against women in schools, colleges, and universities â including school-sponsored sports.

Why should you read Virginia Woolf?: How best can we understand the internal experience of alienation?

Iseult Gillespie helps make sense of these disparities to prepare you for the next time you read Virgina Woolf.
