Interviewing women scientists

Women have had an extraordinary important role in the development of science. Just have a look at the discoveries of Marie Curie, Rachel Carson or Helen Mitchell. However most of them have remained unknown or obscured because of their condition of women in a traditional society.

Let's now discover some of their findings!

You can do it in two different ways:
1. Chose a woman scientist from the past.
     Write now a short biography (10 lines) including her main finding.
     Imagine you're a journalist and you have the opportunity to interview her. What would you ask?    (5 questions at least). Imagine her answers.

2. If you now any current woman scientist interview her (real live interview) and write down her answers. Then write down what is she working on and some of her findings.
