In 1936, Inge Lehmann, the world’s first female seismologist, proposed the theory that the Earth has a solid core. This comic explores her life throughout the 20th century, highlighting her groundbreaking research and the obstacles her era imposed on women pursuing scientific careers. It was only after World War II that Inge Lehmann gained the recognition she rightfully deserved—and this recognition came from the United States. However, she remained relatively unknown in her home country, Denmark, until late in the century.
With an illustrated afterword about Inge Lehmann and her research, written by Helle Houkjær.
