NASA astronaut & biochemistry researcher Peggy Whitson holds the US space endurance record.

Cumulatively, she spent 695 days in #space--the equivalent of a hypothetical round trip to Mars. First woman NASA Chief Astronaut, 2009.

#WomenInSTEM #WorldSpaceDay 🚀
A wide-angle interior photograph of legendary astronaut Dr. Peggy Whitson floating effortlessly in microgravity inside the seven-window Cupola observatory module of the International Space Station. Dr. Whitson is angled diagonally across the frame with one outstretched arm while smiling confidently at the camera. She sports her signature short, blonde pixie haircut and wears a dark blue and black commercial flight jumpsuit adorned with the prominent embroidered logo of Axiom Space alongside a mission patch on her chest. Behind her, the large, panoramic circular and trapezoidal windows frame a breathtaking, brilliantly lit view of planet Earth below, displaying bright blue oceans blanketed by swirling white cloud patterns. The geometric framework of the spacecraft interior, lined with handrails, switches, and wiring, creates a complex border around the vivid windows. The overall mood is triumphant, serene, and awe-inspiring. This image carries profound historical significance, documenting Whitson's groundbreaking transition to commercial spaceflight as a mission commander, continuing to break age and endurance milestones well into her sixties.

Teaching girls self-defense can be a life-saving class. All girls and women should know how. #Women’sLivesMatter2

That would be much more useful than learning how to do-si-do.

Astronaut, pilot & engineer Samantha Cristoforetti: the first Italian woman in space, 2014. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀

She holds the record for the longest uninterrupted spaceflight by a European astronaut & brewed the first espresso in space. #WomenInSTEM #Italy

📷 : Coolest #coffee break in history!
Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti inside the International Space Station (ISS), sipping fresh espresso from a special 3D-printed "Zero-G cup" designed to use the fluid's surface tension to let the astronauts sip from it rather than using a straw from a pouch. She has short dark hair, wears a red-and-black jacket over a purple shirt (a Star Trek uniform specifically for the occasion), and smiles softly while Earth’s blue horizon and swirling white clouds fill the huge circular window above her.

#OTD in 2015, Chinese pharmaceutical chemist & malariologist Tu Youyou won the #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against Malaria."

The therapy saved millions of lives—particularly across Asia, Africa, and South America. #wow

#WomenInSTEM
A close-up photograph captures Tu Youyou (born 1930), the historic Chinese pharmaceutical chemist, malariologist, and educator who won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering artemisinin, a breakthrough malaria therapy that saved millions of lives globally. She is positioned on the left side of the composition, facing forward while gazing warmly toward the right with a soft, gentle smile and thoughtful eyes. She wears thin, oval-shaped metallic eyeglasses secured by a black beaded lanyard chain draped over her ears, and a textured, dark red knit sweater featuring a black pattern around the collar. Her dark hair is styled back in a voluminous, short cut. The minimalist background consists of a solid, dark slate-blue wall with the blurry top of a white ceramic teapot visible in the lower right corner, casting a peaceful, revered, and deeply dignified mood that honors her immense contribution to global public health.

In June of this year 13,865 registered sex offenders dwelled within the county of Los Angeles. How many more are unregistered is unfathomable! #Women’sLivesMatter2 #Liberty&Justice4All

Women know this in our bones—they’re everywhere.

But for the more data-driven, this should drive the point home…

It’s Women’s History Month. Rather than post factoids I’m just gonna post a picture and a name and y’all can google why they’re important. Knowledge for you without a lot of free labor from me. Win win.

Misogyny runs deep. It is, perhaps, the oldest of prejudices, going all the way back to Adam and Eve. It is an only man who are misogynists. #Liberty&Justice4All #Women’sLivesMatter2

@matthewjdowd.bsky.social Thanks for the follow. I am happy to follow you back, Matthew. And thanks for quoting wonderful women writers. That was my bag for over 30 years with the six editions of “the Quotable woman, the first 5000 years.” #Women’sLivesMatter2

Men made war. Men lost the war. They brought it on themselves. It was women who paid the price. Women could no longer go along with men's wars. The war did not make women strong. Through the war, women found men out.

- Hideko Takamine (Japanese actress, 1924-2010)
A black and white portrait of Japanese actress Hideko Takamine (1924-2010), seen from the chest up against a pale grey background. Her short curly dark hair frames a face tilted slightly downward, her gaze falling away from the camera. One hand rests near her chin with fingers loosely curled. A small round earring catches the light. She wears a dark coat with a wide collar. Soft focus holds the edges while the eyes stay sharp.

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.”

She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer.

She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM
Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.

Matilda Joslyn Gage was born on this day in 1826 in Cicero, N.Y. She was an abolitionist, Native American rights activist and leading 19th-century suffragist, but she was largely written out of history by her colleagues due to her increasingly radical views. /1
