What’s Ada Lovelace Day? March 24, set as a day to blog about women and science and technology. Just yesterday I listed a purse on Etsy that quite suits the occasion…
This purse features French chemist Irene Joliot-Curie (1897-1956). Both her parents had Nobel Prizes–her mother Marie Curie had two. Irene and her husband Frédéric Joliot-Curie shared the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and both of their children became scientists as well.
