Three extraordinary women. Three remarkable lives. Three conversations about curiosity, discovery and changing what's possible.
Join Battle Point Observatory for a three-part fall book club exploring Marie Curie, Vera Rubin and Mae Jemison through books about their lives, discoveries and journeys in science.
The series is facilitated by Erin Howard, a research scientist whose own work connects directly to astronomy and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
Meet with us on Zoom for one session or all three:
August 25 | Marie Curie Madame Curie by Eve Curie
September 22 | Vera Rubin Vera Rubin: A Life by Jacqueline and Simon Mitton Foreword by Jocelyn Bell Burnell
October 27 | Mae Jemison Find Where the Wind Goes: Moments From My Life by Mae Jemison
6:00–7:00 PM | Zoom
Register once and join any or all three conversations.
Each month's selection also has an optional Kiddo Companion Book so families can share these extraordinary women's stories with the next generation:
The Story of Marie Curie — Susan B. Katz The Stuff Between the Stars: How Vera Rubin Discovered Most of the Universe — Sandra Nickel Mae Jemison: A Kid's Book About Reaching Your Dreams — Mary Nhin
Curious minds welcome. Come discover the women who changed how we see our world—and our universe.
