I really enjoyed this exhibition. It was truly inspirational to learn about the the brilliance of these phenomenal women in their respective fields despite their struggles. I especially liked the opening reception of the exhibit with Dr. Frank's remarks and the interactive computer program that had more resources and interesting findings to play around with. Thank you for putting this together!
