In the mid-XNUMXth century, the Harvard Observatory began hiring women as calculators to interpret the results of nightly astronomical observations performed by men. At first these were the wives, sisters and daughters of the observatory's staff astronomers, and then they were joined by graduates of women's colleges. When photography entered astronomical practice, women, in addition to calculations, began to study stars captured at night on glass photographic plates. Harvard's "glass universe" of half a million photographic plates accumulated over decades allowed women to make remarkable discoveries that received worldwide recognition. They helped to understand what stars are made of, classify them and find a way to determine interstellar distances. The book contains a lot of interesting facts, it contains many excerpts from letters, diaries and memoirs. In fact, this is the story of women whose contributions to science changed our understanding of the stars and humanity's place in the Universe.
