This post includes a woman imprisoned for years in a gulag (brutal forced labor camp for political prisoners).Īs usual, great barriers to people in life often translates into the iniquity of historical erasure, too. The scientists in this series also worked and lived through unimaginably perilous times. Usually, when I write posts about scientists in history, I’m talking about the barriers of gender and racial discrimination people faced. Each bio begins with a very short summary, so you can scroll through the pictures and summaries to get a quick impression of these people’s lives and achievements. This series covers a small selection from the massive legacy of early Ukrainian women scientists’ science, initiative, and courage – 15 amazing people born up to 1934, coming in groups of 5, in birth order. There’s lots of the future here, too – ending with the futuristic experiments to grow plants in space to support long missions. In this final part, we meet the first of the scientists who are still living – and start to see the impact of the Russian war on individuals, and in one case, on someone’s life work.
