A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Susan B. Anthony, the legendary American suffragist, abolitionist, and women's rights pioneer, taken in her later years. She is seated in a formal pose against a plain dark background, wearing a high-necked, long-sleeved black dress with elaborate lace trim and floral-patterned lace collar and cuffs. Her white hair is neatly styled in a low bun with a small decorative comb or ribbon. She gazes to the left of the camera with a calm, resolute, and dignified expression—her face conveying unwavering determination and quiet strength. The image captures her as a tireless advocate who co-founded the National Woman Suffrage Association, fought for decades to secure voting rights for women (culminating in the 19th Amendment after her death), and remains an enduring symbol of perseverance in the struggle for gender equality. The soft lighting and formal composition highlight her as an icon of the suffrage movement.
Susan B. Anthony dedicated her life to women's #suffrage & campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's property rights & more: susanbanthonyhouse.org/her-story/bi...
Active until she died, #OTD in 1906. She never got to vote in her lifetime (well, legally that is).

A black-and-white historical portrait photograph of Edmée Chandon, the pioneering French astronomer (1885–1944), shown as a young woman. She has short, curly dark hair styled in a bob with soft volume, adorned with a dark headband featuring two prominent vertical barrette-like pins or clips. Her expression is calm and direct, gazing straight at the camera with a subtle, composed demeanor. She wears a dark velvet or satin dress with a high neckline accented by a white lace ruffled collar or jabot, and a small decorative brooch or button at the center. The image has a classic early 20th-century studio style with soft lighting, a plain background, and slight vignetting, evoking elegance and determination.
Astronomer Edmée Chandon died #OTD in 1944.🔭
She was the first professional female astronomer in France, working at the Paris Observatory from 1908 until her retirement in 1941.
She is one of the 72 pioneering women whose names are to be engraved on the Eiffel Tower.

A color outdoor portrait of American bacterial geneticist Evelyn Witkin in her later years, standing in a sun-dappled garden or courtyard setting with green foliage and a brick building in the soft-focus background. She is an elderly woman with fair skin, short wavy white hair, gentle smile lines, and warm, thoughtful eyes gazing directly at the camera with a kind, serene expression. She wears a white button-up blouse with subtle textured patterns, small earrings, and a distinctive beaded necklace featuring dark and light beads. A small silver dragonfly brooch is pinned to the left side of her blouse, symbolizing her pioneering work on DNA damage repair (often likened to cellular "rescue" mechanisms). The natural daylight softly illuminates her face, highlighting her dignified and approachable presence as a trailblazing scientist and a Lasker Award and National Medal of Science recipient. The overall mood is one of quiet wisdom, resilience, and quiet celebration of a long, impactful career in #WomenInScience. #WomensHistoryMonth
Geneticist Evelyn Witkin (b. #OTD 1921) pioneered work on DNA damage repair & mutagenesis.
Her discovery of the SOS response revealed how cells actively respond to genetic threats, laying foundations for insights into cancer, aging, radiation effects & chemotherapy resistance. #WomenInSTEM #WHM
