Women In History

I grew up believing that women had contributed nothing to the world until the 1960′s. So once I became a feminist I started collecting information on women in history, and here’s my collection so far, in no particular order. 

Lepa Svetozara Radić (1925–1943) was a partisan executed at the age of 17 for shooting at German soldiers during WW2. As her captors tied the noose around her neck, they offered her a way out of the gallows by revealing her comrades and leaders identities. She responded that she was not a traitor to her people and they would reveal themselves when they avenged her death. She was the youngest winner of the Order of the People’s Hero of Yugoslavia, awarded in 1951

23 year old Phyllis Latour Doyle was British spy who parachuted into occupied Normandy in 1944 on a reconnaissance mission in preparation for D-day. She relayed 135 secret messages before France was finally liberated. 

Catherine Leroy, War Photographer starting with the Vietnam war. She was taken a prisoner of war. When released she continued to be a war photographer until her death in 2006.

Lieutenant Pavlichenko was a Ukrainian sniper in WWII, with a total of 309 kills, including 36 enemy snipers. After being wounded, she toured the US to promote friendship between the two countries, and was called ‘fat’ by one of her interviewers, which she found rather amusing. 

Johanna Hannie “Jannetje” Schaft was born in Haarlem. She studied in Amsterdam had many Jewish friends. During WWII she aided many people who were hiding from the Germans and began working in resistance movements. She helped to assassinate two nazis. She was later captured and executed. Her last words were “I shoot better than you.”. 

Nancy wake was a resistance spy in WWII, and was so hated by the Germans that at one point she was their most wanted person with a price of 5 million francs on her head. During one of her missions, while parachuting into occupied France, her parachute became tangled in a tree. A french agent commented that he wished that all trees would bear such beautiful fruit, to which she replied “Don’t give me any of that French shit!”, and later that evening she killed a German sentry with her bare hands. 

After her husband was killed in WWII, Violette Szabo began working for the resistance. In her work, she helped to sabotage a railroad and passed along secret information. She was captured and executed at a concentration camp at age 23. 

Grace Hopper was a computer scientist who invented the first ever compiler. Her invention makes every single computer program you use possible. 

Mona Louise Parsons was a member of an informal resistance group in the Netherlands during WWII. After her resistance network was infiltrated, she was captured and was the first Canadian woman to be imprisoned by the Nazis. She was originally sentenced to death by firing squad, but the sentence was lowered to hard lard labor in a prison camp. She escaped. 

Simone Segouin was a Parisian rebel who killed an unknown number of Germans and captured 25 with the aid of her submachine gun. She was present at the liberation of Paris and was later awarded the ‘croix de guerre’. 

Mary Edwards Walker is the only woman to have ever won an American Medal of Honor. She earned it for her work as a surgeon during the Civil War. It was revoked in 1917, but she wore it until hear death two years later. It was restored posthumously. 

Italian neuroscientist won a Nobel Prize for her discovery of nerve growth factor. She died aged 103. 

EDIT

jinxedinks added: Her name was Rita Levi-Montalcini. She was jewish, and so from 1938 until the end of the fascist regime in Italy she was forbidden from working at university. She set up a makeshift lab in her bedroom and continued with her research throughout the war.

This is an ongoing project of mine, and I’ll update this as much as I can (It’s not all WWII stuff, I’ve got separate folders for separate achievements).

What the hell are Comets, Meteroids, and Asteroids?

SEE BELOW TO FIND OUT

COMET

Made of ice, rock and dust.

They originate outside our solar system

HUGE. like miles wide. Big boys.

They orbit the sun.

They have that tail thingy.

METEOROID

Small. Like could be a grain of sand

Rocky or metal

They originate from comets or asteroids aka they are the bits that fall off

They orbit the sun

Can fall to earth but then they are called a meteor (if they vaporize in the atmosphere) or a meteorite (if they hit earth)

ASTEROID

Also made of rock or metal

Are larger than a meteoroid and historically if an object is larger than 10 meters across, they are called an asteroid

Also orbit the sun because the sun is so damn popular but they are generally between Mars and Jupiter

A few space-themed pieces that are available in my shop as digital downloads! These are high-res files that you can download and print or use as phone wallpaper, profile pictures, art for your blog, etc. As long as it’s for personal use they’re all yours to do what you like with! They are all $5 or less and you can find them here!

How close is Jupiter to being a star ? 

In an interesting article, Astronomy.com ponders how close is Jupiter to being a star, and could it maybe one day become on. 

When it comes to stars, Mass is all that matters (there’s a joke hidden in that statement, groan !!) 

A star becomes a star when the pressure at the centre caused by gravity is sufficient to fuse Hydrogen, and as it turns out, the mass of Jupiter is about 85 times less than the mass required to cause that kind of fusion to occur. 

So, unless Jupiter finds 85 times it’s mass and obtains it, it’s nowhere near the size needed to become a star, and is very unlikely to ever be so.

There is however a middle way, because it turns out that Hydrogen as H2 isn’t the first thing to begin fusing, H3 (deuterium) can begin to fuse at much lower pressures, around 13 times the mass of Jupiter. 

If this did happen, it would make Jupiter a brown dwarf, but again, 13 times it’s current total mass is unlikely to happen.

The Hubble telescope has captured an image of an unusual edge-on galaxy, revealing remarkable details of its warped dusty disk and showing how colliding galaxies spawn the formation of new generations of stars. The dust and spiral arms of normal spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way, appear flat when viewed edge-on. This Hubble Heritage image of ESO 510-G13 shows a galaxy that, by contrast, has an unusual twisted disk structure, first seen in ground-based photographs.
