   At 14, Mary Fairfax (later Mary Somerville) studied algebra & mathematics, defying her father’s wishes.

   Eventually, she began experimenting & writing about #science. Her interests spanned fields from astronomy to chemistry to physics. Mary published articles & books & is now celebrated as a mathematician, scientist & writer.

   Along with Caroline Herschel (see earlier #HistoryRemix post), she became one of the first 2 honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society. https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.3817
