Mary Somerville (1780-1872) was a notable Scottish scientist, mathematician, and writer, recognized for her contributions to astronomy and mathematical science. She was one of the first women to gain recognition in these fields during a time when educational opportunities for women were limited. Somerville was largely self-taught, and she published several influential works, including "Mechanism of the Heavens," which helped to make complex scientific concepts accessible to a broader audience.
