When men won't even let women relieve themselves…: miraz.me

@Miraz You have been doing a stellar job with these women-in-history/women-in-society link posts this past week 👍 Thanks.

@smokey Thanks so much Smokey. They just happen to have come to my attention. Meanwhile I'm slowly working on a little unannounced project with a special page on my blog: Remember these women.

@Miraz Oh, nice! (You’ve got Helen Sharman on there twice, 4 and 12, btw.)

Here’s another one for you: Natalie Carbone Mangini, one of the first women nuclear chemists, who worked on the nuclear reactor for the USS Nautilus. (Her family’s restaurant, which closed last summer after 80 years, was a local institution and was always a special place for our family.) :-)

@smokey Many thanks Smokey. Page fixed and Natalie added! What an interesting story.

@Miraz I know, right? I knew a little bit about her story from my great aunt, but it wasn’t until the restaurant closed and I was wallowing in my feelings, reading every page on its website, that I saw the link to that profile with the whole story.

It’s great to see how far we’ve come since the ridiculous obstacles overcome by all of these trailblazers, but still a long way to go, both in remembering their contributions and in ensuring true equality.
