Women in Mapmaking Who Didn’t Make the History Books.

Description

Cartography consists of many skill areas and it turns out women were involved in all of them. The first woman who made a world map lived in the 10th Century. The theory of continental drift was proved by map data accumulated by a woman born in 1920. We’ll look at 50+ maps, along with more than three dozen women who were making maps throughout history.
