A Celebration of Women In Astronomy

Professor Bell Burnell will focus in this talk on the achievements and contributions to modern astronomy made by some unsung and under-sung female astronomers of the last 100 years. She will also reflect on the position of women in astronomy today and how it might be made more equitable.
