Margaret Flamsteed
text:
Margaret Flamsteed is the first woman on record to be associated with astronomy in Britain. She was married to John Flamsteed, the Astronomical Observer. After John Flamsteed's death she oversaw publication of both of his most famous works: Historia Coelestis Britannica in 1725 and Atlas Coelestis in 1729. Without her, neither of these two important works would have been published. Margaret appeared as a character in a play by Kevin Hood called The Astronomer's Garden.
