by Beatrice Gormley (Author)
In the mid-1800s, a turbulent time when women were often thought to be unworthy of higher education, Maria Mitchell rose above the prejudices of the day to become America's first professional woman astronomer. This biography tells the story of Maria Mitchell's life, her achievements, and her faith that saw God's handiwork in the heavens.
