Galileo's Daughters concert at
the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu
Galileo's Daughters enjoyed performing Perpetual Motion for the 50th anniversary of the Institute for Astronomy on June 27, 2017. The whole anniversary was a stellar success, and we were even treated to a VIP tour of the Mauna Kea observatories on the Big Island!

The Glass Universe tells the story of the women who worked
at the Harvard College Observatory from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s. Observatory director Edward Pickering hired them because he believed women were careful workers--and would accept lower pay than men. There was a broad field for “woman’s work”in that exciting period when photography upended astronomy.
