Locations, landmarks and monuments dotted throughout the UK highlight the contributions of women

For this year’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the Royal Society has created an interactive map that explores the contributions of historical women to science, technology, engineering and mathematics across the UK. So far, landmarks, monuments and locations link to around 50 female scientists. The Royal Society has called on the public to add other connections to famous female scientists in the UK to help map science history.
