Maria Mitchell

Soul Of An Astronomer

BY BEATRICE GORMLEY

Brief Description:
"This fine biography details the life of America's first female astronomer, who was born in 1818 on Nantucket. Gormley explores Mitchell's early years, her struggles with the Quaker doctrines with which she grew up, her discovery of the comet that was named after her, and her careers as a librarian and astronomy instructor. Known for her honesty as well as her nonconformity, Mitchell comes across here as a great seeker who truly loved God and sang his praises." - Booklist
