Elizabeth Fulhame, a Scottish chemist working in the 1790s, laid early foundations for modern catalysis through her experiments on how dyes formed on fabrics using light and water. She published her findings in 1794; the book appeared in German in 1798 and was republished in English in the United States in 1810. Posts are highlighting her work and arguing she deserves more recognition in the history of chemistry.

Why now: People are rediscovering and celebrating a largely overlooked woman scientist's pioneering contribution to chemistry.
