Henrietta Leavitt, Harvard College Observatory, 1912, established the relation period-luminosity of Cepheid variable stars. Being a woman i.e. confined to the tedious and ridiculously paid work of examining photographic plates for the benefit of an all-male establishment, she would not be awarded credit for her milestone discovery...

Payne was born in 1900 in Wendover, England, to an upper-class family. Her early education was in botany, physics, and chemistry, but her passion was astronomy. In 1922, she heard a lecture by Harlow Shapley, the director of the Harvard College Observatory. The lecture inspired her to seek admission to Harvard, and with strong recommendations from her mentors in England, including Sir Arthur Eddington, she was admitted and arrived on campus in 1923. Two years later, in 1925, she became the first student, male or female, to earn a Ph.D. from the Harvard College Observatory.

Robert K. Nesbet obtained his BA in physics from Harvard College in 1951 and his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1954. He was then a research associate in MIT for two years, before becoming Assistant Professor of Physics at Boston University. He did research at RIAS, Martin Company, Baltimore, the Institut Pasteur, Paris and Brookhaven National Laboratory, before becoming a Staff Member at IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose in 1962. He acted as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Computational Physics and the Journal of Chemical Physics, between 1969 and 1974, and was a visiting professor at several universities throughout the world. Professor Nesbet officially retired in 1994, but has continued his research and visiting since then. Over the years he has written more than 270 publications in computational physics, atomic and molecular physics, theoretical chemistry, and solid-state physics. 

Miss Muxdrdozol smiles as she strokes her silky, rainbow-colored hair. Cecilia is one of my heroes. I have a photo of her in my bedroom. She was the first person, either male or female, to get a Ph.D. in astronomy from work done at the Harvard College Observatory. ...

The toughest misconception of all is the view that because I can t see, I can t work. I was turned down by over forty law firms because of my blindness, even though my qualifications included a cum laude degree from Harvard College and a good ranking in my Harvard Law School class.

After graduation, Cannon returned to her home in Dover. At times she expressed unhappiness and dissatisfaction with her life in Dover, however. When her mother died in 1894, she took a job at Wellesley as instructor in the physics department. At the same time, she was accepted as a "special student" in astronomy at Radcliffe College, which was then the women s arm of Harvard College. Two years later she accepted a position on the staff at the Harvard Observatory, a post she held for the rest of her life.
