The next #printerSolstice2526 prompt is ‘one’ so I selected a woman who was often the first: first woman science doctorate, first woman physics professor and first woman member of a scientific academy, the Academy of Sciences at the Institute of Bologna: Laura Bassi (1711-1778).
She was quite famous and there are several portraits of her, usually depicted as Minerva, goddess of wisdom. 🧵
