Women emerged as a growing force in botanical endeavour in the 18th century. This talk will showcase their talent as researchers, authors, educators and illustrators. It will reveal their powerful presence in the world of paleobotany and palynology and highlight their contributions to our understanding of ancient environments. It will introduce the no-nonsense botanist and Nobel Prize laureate whose leadership in maize (corn) cytogenetics led to the discovery of the ‘jumping gene’ and contributed to huge strides in molecular biology and possibilities for agriculture.
