2016 is the centenary of the admission of women to RAS Fellowship. As part of our celebration of the year,the Society commissioned Time Will repeat Theatre to create a dramatization of the history of female astronomers, leading up to the decision to finally admit women on an equal basis to men.
The play was first performed at the Ordinary assembly of the RAS in January 2016, or you can now watch a recording of the performance and interviews with the leading actors.
