Women in science in literature

Collage of book covers about women in STEM — Books and narratives that make women scientists visible.

When books repair forgetting

For a long time, textbooks and historical narratives celebrated great men of science, while overlooking the women who worked in the shadows.

In recent years, literature has become a way to repair this injustice. Through essays, biographies and fiction, writers tell the stories of women scientists who shaped research, without always receiving the recognition they deserved.

Literature becomes a space of memory: it questions how History is written and reminds us that science is not only numbers, but also stories and humanity.
