No. 1934: SOMERVILLE, CURIOSITY, and LEARNING by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1934. Today, a wild young girl becomes a great scientist. The University of Houston's college of engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. I n 1867, British social reformer John Stewart Mill submitted a petition to Parliament seeking women's suffrage. It was signed by people like Florence Nightingale. And the first signature on the petition was that of 86-year-old Mary Fairfax Somerville. The petition failed, but Somerville still had many other fish to fry. Three years later, at the age of 89, she published her two-volume treatise on Molecular and Microscopic Science. Somerville generally kept a low political profile. One deals with trouble the way one deals with any problem to be solved. She was driven by curiosity and she functioned with the singular personal freedom that we gain from a life based upon honest curiosity. Born Mary Fairfax in 1780, she was the daughter of an admiral, away most of the time. She grew up on the Scottish seacoast. Her brothers went to school, while she lived a rough-and-tumble village life turning her acute eye upon birds, weather and plant life.

No. 828: SOMERVILLE AND MARCET by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 828. Today, we talk about secret female science in 19th-century England. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. I n 1816 Mary Fairfax Somerville and her husband moved from Scotland to London. She was a brilliant woman a student of science and mathematics. Now her first order of business in London was to meet the noted technical writer Jane Marcet Marcet was 47 and well established. She'd written on chemistry, economics, biology, and much more. The two became close friends. Marcet was well connected. She opened doors into London's intellectual life. She also opened European connections. Somerville struck up lasting friendships with the likes of Biot, Gay-Lussac, and Arago as each passed through London. Even more interesting was the feminine underground around her. I do not call it feminIST. It was not. For example, Marcet didn't even sign her female name to her books. She never made any claim of intellectual equality with the thousands of men trained by her books ostensibly written for young ladies.

The Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Scientists Editors Introduction Proposed Entries Sample Entries - John Herschel Mary Fairfax Somerville SOMERVILLE, Mary Fairfax Mary Fairfax was born in Jedburgh, Scotland in 1780 and died on 29 November 1872 in Naples. Her father, Vice-Admiral Sir William George Fairfax, did not approve of education for girls. Apart from one year at a fashionable boarding school at Musselburgh, Mary was self-taught. She studied animals and flowers; read French; perfected her Latin, in order to read Newton’s Principia , and worked through an algebra handbook and Euclid’s Elements of Geometry Mary married a cousin, Captain Samuel Greig, in 1804 but, after bearing him two sons, she was widowed in 1807. In 1812 she married another cousin, Dr William Somerville, who was supportive of her passion for science. The couple had four children together, and lived in Edinburgh before moving to London in 1816. Mary mixed with eminent figures, including George Airy, John and William Herschel, Charles Lyell and William Whewell, and she numberd among her foreign acquaintances and correspondents Dominique Arago, Joseph Gay-Lussac, Alexander von Humboldt and Pierre Simon, Marquis de Laplace.

Born December 26,1780 in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland Died Nov 29,1872 in Naples, Italy E arly Y ears O n December 26, 1780, Mary Fairfax Greig Somerville was born in Jedburgh Scotland. Her father, Lieutenant William George Fairfax, was a vice admiral in the British Navy and was often at sea for extended periods of time. Her mother, Margaret Charters, only made sure that "she learn to read the Bible and say her prayers" (Wood). Therefore, Mary was left to herself much as a child (Wood). Mary's education, like most females of her time, "was quite 'scant and haphazard'" (Wood). In fact, she was only allowed to bew a full-time student for one year in at a boarding school for girls. At the age of thirteen, her mother took her to Edinburgh and enrolled her in school for the winter. Here she learned arithmatic for the first time. During this stay in Edinburgh, she found some symbols which caught her interest in a fashion magazine. She finally convinced her brother's tutor to buy her some books which would explain to her the symbols which intrigued her so. This was Mary Somerville's first experience with algebra. M arried L ife M ary was wedded in 1804 to her cousin a captain in the Russian Navy. She was twenty-four at the time. Although her husband, Captain Samuel Greig did not think very highly of intellectual womenhe did not prevent her from continuing her work. After giving her two sons and three years of marriage, Captain Greig died.
