The historic role of women scientists at BGS and a look at what is happening today

Pennington, Catherine. 2015 The historic role of women scientists at BGS and a look at what is happening today. GeoBlogy.

Abstract
This may surprise you if you know the BGS today but from its inception in 1835, and for over 100 years thereafter, the British Geological Survey was an exclusively male preserve. Women just weren’t allowed in, especially if they wanted to be a scientist, involved in any fieldwork or, dare I say it, marry.
