Join us for GWIS’s 4th annual Book Club! Over the next few months (July-September), we’ll be reading Mischievous Creatures: The Forgotten Sisters Who Transformed Early American Science by Catherine McNeur. The book, published in 2023, is widely available at libraries or check at your local bookstore (if nothing else get it from Amazon). This book uncovers the lives and work of Margaretta Hare Morris and Elizabeth Carrington Morris, sisters and scientists in early America. This portrait of two unsung pioneers places women firmly at the center of the birth of American science.
Chapters 1-6 discussion: Friday, August 22nd, 2025, 8pm WAT and BST/4pm ADT/3pm EDT/2pm CDT/1pm MDT/12pm PDT/9am HDT (this meeting time favors US timezones)
