Who was Enheduanna? And Émilie de Châtelet? Why do brewmasters consider Hildegard of Bingen, an 11th century nun, their mentor? Was Marie Curie worthy of the two Nobel prizes in science that she received? Would it have been possible to decipher the structure of DNA without the work of Rosalind Franklin? Why is the woman who unraveled the structure of penicillin so unknown? What role did women have during the Silver Age that science lived in the Second Spanish Republic? In this book we rescue the history of some of the women who have made relevant contributions to science and at the same time, to understand why they were so rare and today they are so unknown, we take a journey through history. In this walk we discover that until well into the 20th century, women were banned from entering universities and the exercise of many professions that required studies, and that they had previously been expelled from the libraries of the monasteries, the centers where the know during the Middle Ages. We also discover that their stories were erased from the annals of science or their contributions were taken from them.
