Dr. Linda Griffith, Professor of Biological & Mech. Engineering at MIT, also directs the Center for Gynepathology Research there.
Her work has helped raised awareness of endometriosis, a painful but common disease among women. It occurs in an estimated 2-10% of women, and in 50% of patients treated for infertility.
The average delay between onset and diagnosis is about ten years.

Tu Youyou, a Chinese medical researcher, played a vital role in discovering artemisinin, the most powerful antimalarial drug therapy available today.
She found a key hint in a 4th-century BC medical text, which she combined with the insight that conventional techniques for extracting medicine from herbs might destroy the active ingredient.

#OnThisDay in 1776 Abigail Adams wrote to her husband, future president John Adams:
"I long to hear that you have declared an independency -- and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors... If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion."

"Kaikeyi" by Vaishnavi Patel is a beautiful & lyrical retelling of the epic story of a lone girl born into a powerful family who struggles to be seen & heard. She has a close bond with her twin brother, born to rule, yet even he deserts her when an arranged marriage is made for her.
Slowly, she gains influence in her husband's kingdom, but the Gods have ordained a different future for the land.

Margaret Morse Nice pioneered a new branch of science called ethology, which focused on understanding animals by watching what they did and why.
Despite not being allowed to finish her Ph.D. when she got married, and despite a lack of institutional support, Nice excelled in a male-dominated field and produced an impressive body of literature, publishing hundreds of articles and thousands of reviews.

#OnThisDay, 25 Mar 1941, the first Women’s Royal Navy Service women (known as “wrens”) arrive at Bletchley Park.
They operate the Bombe machines developed by Alan Turing and used for decoding German Enigma machine messages.
The Bombes were loud, and had to be precisely coded by the WRNS each time. Additional decoding locations were added, each with a complement of wrens.
Their work helps shorten #WorldWar2.
