Double X Science has done an amazing job curating the 14th Diversity in Science carnival. A host of bloggers shared links of awe-inspiring stories of perseverance and achievement of Women Scientists and Engineers of the distant past and of today. However, there are also many stories that pay tribute to those women who were not scientists or engineers, but who made indelible impressions on so many of us. Teaching us. Mentoring us.
