We decided to talk about women, about extraordinary women. Pioneers, scientists, scholars, feminists, daughters, mothers: our contemporary role models. Women who shaped our history, went against the tide, personified new roles, and broke the rules because multiplying categories where women can play a role is the only way to dismantle stereotypes and achieve equality. Daughters of Marie is the celebration of all these women who, like Marie Sklodowska Curie, the women in science par excellence, excelled in disciplines historically dominated by men.
The daughter of Marie of this episode is Claudine Hermann, the first woman ever appointed Professor at Ecole Polytechnique, President of the European Platform of Women Scientists EPWS, co-founder and the first president of the association Femmes & Sciences. Claudine is the very first inspiring woman in science of the Daughters of Marie podcast.
Speakers: Claudine Hermann and Jelena Lazic.
The podcast was written and produced by Jelena Lazic in collaboration with Claudine Hermann.
