Maria Reiche, aka the Lady of the Lines, was a mathematician and archaeologist who almost single-handedly recorded and conserved the Nazca Lines – and got them recognised by @UNESCO! #WomenInSTEM #TrowelBlazer Find out more here: trowelblazers.com/maria-reic…
Maria Reiche is sat in the Pampa valley looking into the camera, holding binoculars in her lap. She is wearing a bandana to keep her hair out of her face, and has the straps of multiple bags over each shoulder. The photo is in sepia tones (no colour).

The people of the #past lived and suffered in many of the same ways that #modern populations do. The care and #preservation of #archaeologists and their efforts bring these pieces of #history into the #present for people to relate to. #archaeology #ethics

In 1975, Lee Elder became the first African American pro golfer to compete in the Masters Tournament. Elder missed the cut after the first two days of play in 1975, but he returned to the Masters in 1977 and finished in the top 20 at the age of 40. #GameChangers

This was a large team, including 32 white women, and up to 87 African American women. It is important to note that the Black women had a very different experience working on the site than their white counterparts; they had poor working conditions and were paid significantly less
