Sethanne Howard

Chief of the Nautical Almanac Office/Retired

As the first woman to receive a degree in physics from U California, Davis (1965), I have remained interested in the history of women in science and have given talks on that topic around the country. My website covers 4,000 Years of Women in Science (http://www.4kyws.ua.edu) and my book is The Hidden Giants available from Amazon.
