Celebrate the dawn of the Millennium by illuminating the contributions of five pioneering 19th-century Irish women in science. ‘Whatever Shines Should be Observed’ highlights their groundbreaking work in photography, microscopy, astronomy, and astrophysics, overcoming significant societal barriers. Despite privileged backgrounds, these women forged paths in male-dominated fields, acquiring knowledge without formal training and battling for publication. Their perseverance not only advanced science but also gradually eroded barriers for women in academia, paving the way for future generations. Inspired by William Herschel’s motto, this book salutes their luminous lives and enduring legacy, offering valuable insights for today’s scholars and enthusiasts of science history.
