Forgotten By History

Female firefighters at Pearl Harbor (1941).

Donna Tobias - the first woman to graduate from the US Navy’s Deep Sea Diving School in 1975.

Brave women of the Red Cross hitting the beach at Normandy.

Dottie Kamenshek was called the best player in women’s baseball and was once recruited to play for a men’s professional team.

Kate Warne - Private Detective. Born in New York City, almost nothing is known of her prior to 1856 when, as a young widow, she answered an employment advertisement placed by Alan Pinkerton. She was one of four new agents the Pinkerton Detective Agency hired that year and proved to be a natural, taking to undercover work easily. She had taken part in embezzlement and railroad security cases when in 1861 the Pinkertons developed the first lead about an anti-Lincoln conspiracy.

Catherine Leroy, female photographer in Vietnam.

The three women pictured in this incredible photograph from 1885 – Anandibai Joshi of India, Keiko Okami of Japan, and Sabat Islambouli of Syria – each became the first licensed female doctors in their respective countries. The three were students at the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania; one of the only places in the world at the time where women could study medicine.

Female Samurai Warrior - Onno-Bugeisha - Female warrior belonging to the Japanese upper class. Many women engaged in battle, commonly alongside samurai men. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war.

One of the most feared of all London street gangs from the late 1880’s was a group of female toughs known as the Clockwork Oranges. They woulde later inspire Anthony burgess’ most notorious novel. Their main Rivals were the All-female “the Forty Elephants” gang.

Maureen Dunlop de Popp, Pioneering female pilot who flew Spitfires during Second World War. She joined the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in 1942 and became one of a small group of female pilots who were trained to fly 38 types of aircraft.

In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon. The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.

taking a whack at these for funsies

π - Im guessing complex analysis but pi is used in so many things from the area of a circle to QFT that you could honestly pick two things from any of it and say this about them.

Δ - notably referring to a change in quantity due to an object being in a different state. Your ball was 10C, now it's 20C. ΔT = 10C. along with pi one of the first symbols you get familiar with

δ - Dirac delta or Kronecker delta. This is "change" if the "change" only lasted for an infinitesimally small, perfectly instantaneous moment. Handy for modeling point-like things such as atomic nuclei in quantum mechanics.

θ - i culd b ur angle or ur.... Heavidise step function. definitely not just circles.

ϕ - I was gonna say "NOT JUST ORBS" but everything basically boils down to spherical harmonics or is rotationally symmetric so you can ignore phi anyway...

ϵ - "dont worry about it but also if you dont include this teeny tiny thing you can't solve this equation". usually an infinitesimal addition to something to literally just... work around singularities where the math breaks down.

𝞶 - the worst part about nu is that in QFT all the variations of v, nu, and u are often used simultaneously. good luck if the lecturer has bad handwriting. usually you can tell which one it is by looking at where it is in the equation. could be momentum or an index.

μ - more familiar with this as magnetic permeability which is DEFINITELY something you can feel when you play with a couple o common magnets. also sometimes an index in QFT.

Σ - just means adding stuff up.

Π - same but multiplying.

ξ - i hate this thing. hate it. its a function that i also hate. ruining my pretty notes by making me just... do a little poopy scribble. but sometimes its also used a bit like epsilon.

β - because no one wants to write v^2/c^2 over and over again and i wholeheartedly agree. alternatively a back-up when you run out of the other angle symbols, including...

α - idk what xkcd means here, alpha particles? but those aren't the scariest radiation. also used for an angle or an index, along with beta.

Ω - jeez so many things. solid angle? Resistance?? Multiplicity??? ω - usually for frequency, and therefore attached to most modern physics.

σ - standard deviation. you'll hear particle physicists become optimistic at "3-sigma" and they start throwing parties at "5-sigma". its a bit more complicated but boils down to more sigmas, more certainty that your measurement is legit.

γ - Lorentz factor, used in relativity. not exactly itself the speed of light (c) but the scale factor by which some quantity changes when approaching it.

ρ - also often used alongside "p" in QFT, both referring to momentum but of different particles. also used for "density" in more basic applications, or "resistivity" in E&M. Same letter, completely different meaning depending on context.

Ξ - never had to write this one down actually. chi-squared yes for statistics

ψ - sometimes used kind of like phi, usually referring to a different particle in the same system. usually a wave function, thus triton bit.

i learned that Albert Einstein was notoriously incapable of remaining faithful to one woman.

Female beauty was his greatest weakness, and he wasn’t shy or bashful about the fact — he famously explained relativity as “an hour talking to a pretty woman feeling shorter than a minute of having one’s hand on a hot stove”.Albert Einstein had mistresses throughout his life.

He was unfaithful to his first wife, who was the mother of his three children.

He then was unfaithful to his second wife as well, who was also his cousin. The little girl on Einstein’s lap? His adopted granddaughter.

Who, as legend has it, may have been an out-of-wedlock daughter fathered by the aging scientist and then adopted by one of his sons to ‘avoid scandal’.The stereotype we have of Einstein is “somewhat confused, awkward scientist completely obsessed with his work”, but in reality, he was quite socially savvy and quite capable of seducing women, something he did often and ferociously.

Women in his life were aware of his proclivities — a great man belongs ‘to the world’, and sharing, as he saw it, was caring.

Some women like their men handsome. Others go for brains. Albert Einstein had no shortage of brains… and no shortage of women in his life. He got around, so to speak, and was sexually active until old age.

Woah a pinned post

Hullo, I draw comics for fun, sometimes competitively. Trying to find a good internet home for all of them. I'll be editing this post with links to my work and such.

I'm also on Bsky!
