Abstract
- Maria Mitchell was a pioneer in many aspects: first observer of a comet with a telescope, she received the Gold Medal from the King of Denmark and became the first female astronomer and astronomy professor in the United States of America. But she also got involved in feminism, participating in the foundation of the Association for the Advancement of Women in 1873 as well as promoting the access to higher education for women and their inclusion in science.
