Description: From a young age Marie Tharp wanted to be a scientist. In the mid - twentieth century women were not welcome in the sciences but Marie got a job in a laboratory at Cambridge University New York. But then she faced another barrier: women were not allowed on the research ships (they were considered bad luck on boats). So instead Marie mapped point after point and slowly revealed a deep rift valley in the ocean floor. She mapped the single largest geographic feature on the planet all from her small cramped office.
