      abstract = {Mary Somerville (1780-1872), after whom Somerville College  Oxford was named, was the first woman scientist to win an  international reputation entirely in her own right, rather  than through association with a scientific brother or  father. She was active in astronomy, one of the most  demanding areas of science of the day, and flourished in  the unique British tradition of Grand Amateurs, who paid  their own way and were not affiliated with any academic  institution. Mary Somerville was to science what Jane  Austen was to literature and Frances Trollope to travel  writing. Allan Chapman's vivid account.},
