Pierre Simon Laplace
This early nineteenth-century book was written to give popular audiences an introduction to astronomical methods and theories. Its author was remarkable for her mathematical accomplishments at a time when formal training in the subject for women was virtually unknown, and won the praise of her famous contemporary John Herschel.
