This selection of Times obituaries from 1872 to 2014 revisits the lives of 125 women who have all, in their own way, played an important part in women`s educational, professional, social, cultural & emotional journey over the best part of two centuries. The anthology starts with the obituary of 91-year-old pioneering mathematician & scientist Mary Somerville (d. 1872) & concludes with that of 110-year-old concert pianist & Holocaust survivor Alice Herz-Sommer (d. 2014). In between come a formidable trio of later scientists: the discoverer of radium Marie Curie; the unsung heroine of DNA, Rosalind Franklin; & the only British woman to win a Nobel Prize for science, Dorothy Hodgkin. Plus a further quintet of great pianists: Clara Schumann, Myra Hess, Eileen Joyce, Tatiana Nikolayeva & Moura Lympany.
