Scientific paper

Women have made significant contributions to the development of astronomy as a science, yet their work has been restricted, unregarded and little recognized. Here I outline some significant careers and show how these talented and determined women overcame the restrictions on their lives to make their marks. Their solid achievements came at considerable cost and attracted little professional recognition. I then consider how far astronomy has progressed at the present day. There remain limited numbers of professional women astronomers; what still stops women choosing this career?
