I am going to start the year by celebrating those scientists in my print collection whose birthdays aren’t known starting with one of the earliest recorded women in science, Peseshet. She is described in the elaborate Saqqara tomb of her son Akhethotep, royal official & overseer of priests, who lived during the Fifth Dynasty around 2400 BCE. She is described as the “Overseer of the Women Physicians”
