This book offers a series of brief portraits of women who have made a significant contribution to the scientific heritage of humanity in all sciences, including the social sciences and humanities, or who, working in science, have contributed to the common good through a outstanding social, political or ethical commitment (or all three). It hosts portraits of women who have died or are no longer active in scientific research, as well as portraits of women still active in research, whose contribution to science or the common good seems already significant. These women come from all over the world.
