The Women That Science Forgot

The Women That Science Forgot was a non-fiction book written by Rowan Sesay about often-overlooked female figures in scientific history that was first published in 1983.

A section of the book was dedicated to the life of Professor Rachel Jensen, the most notable member of the Cambridge Group in the 1950s who was hardly recognized outside the scientific community despite her pivotal work with Alan Turing during World War II. The book further went on to detail her abrupt retirement in 1964 (the reason for which her autobiography The Electrical Dreamer was "curiously vague" about) and her subsequent marriage a year later.
