Figuring

"Figuring" is a fascinating exploration of love and the search for truth through the interconnected lives of several historical figures. From Johannes Kepler to Rachel Carson, a diverse cast of artists, writers, and scientists, mostly women and queer, have left their mark on the world. This book raises important questions about the meaning of a good life and the intersection of different fields, including astronomy, poetry, and philosophy, in shaping our understanding of the world. Discover how these figures challenged societal norms and helped shape the feminist and environmental movements.
