4.5

Excellent narration – clear and precise. Impressive range of voices. 
Physics, embroidery, *and* F/F smut? Was this book written with me in mind? 
A still relevant topic about women and minorities in science and the constant fight to be treated equally.
I now want to read all of Lucy's translations and/or learn French to read the marquise's works. Short of that, I might actually grab the original physics texts mentioned because of this book.
