Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson
An inspiring historical glimpse into the life of the groundbreaking astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, whose work illuminated the cosmos and changed the course of science forever. Silent Sky is an inspiring, heartfelt play that explores the power of perseverance, the pursuit of knowledge, and the untold stories of women who shaped our understanding of the universe. Filled with humor, heart, and a touch of cosmic wonder, this beautifully crafted tale celebrates the women behind the science, their dreams, and their quiet rebellions against the limits of their time.
