In this episode from our series exploring 100 ideas in genetics, we’re telling the often-overlooked stories of four women who helped to shape the science of life. We pick four women whose contributions to the history of 20th century genetics have been obscured by sexist scientific culture: Esther Lederberg, Harriet Creighton, Tsuneko Okazaki and Martha Chase.
