Author: Leila McNeill, The Great Courses
Narrator: Leila McNeillLaura Bassi was once called a "monster". And she was. She was a monster of intellect. In 1732, she became the first female doctor of philosophy at the University of Bologna. Her doctoral degree defense was a highly public event, attended by foreigners, clergy, professors, nobility, and onlookers-yet she was still forbidden from teaching at the university and was deliberately excluded from a prestigious group of academics within the Institute for Science. It's not news that women have been denied the same educational and institutional opportunities, resources, and access as men, and that science's history is often told through the stories of great men, with a few great women making an appearance here and there.
