Pickerings Harem ~ Roy Bicknell

This is not a tale of late 19th century erotica but one of a small band of skilled women used by the director of the Harvard Observatory to process astronomical data.  For example Henrietta Leavitt Swan brought us a method for determining large inter stellar distances and Annie Jump Canon laid the foundations for classifying stars with a methodology we still use today.
