Observaciones y contexto

Anna Veiga Lluch is a contemporary of Ana Lluch Hernández, María Blasco Marhuenda or Margarita del Val. All of them important researchers in fields such as oncology, telomeres or virology. In particular, Anna Veiga is one of the leading scientists in initiating the study of stem cells in Spain, together with Bernat Soria and Juan Carlos Izpisúa. 

Throughout history, the field of biology and natural sciences has been plagued by women researchers, such as Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), who was one of the most multifaceted and influential women of the Middle Ages in 12th century Western Europe. Mystic, abbess, theologian, writer of an extensive epistolary and religious texts and scientific books on plants and minerals and their healing powers, as well as the functioning of the human body.
The naturalist Maria Sybilla Merian (1647-1717). The anatomy teacher Anna Morandi Manzolini (1716-1774). Laura Bassi, but she was the one who best entered the academic world of science. Laura Bassi (1711-1778) promoted the constitution of a network of experimenters that connected Italy with the scientific culture of France and England.

Eunice Foote (1819-1888), who was able to identify the greenhouse effect and work on global warming by working from her kitchen. 
And more recently in the 20th and 21st centuries women of her generation such as Jane Morris Goodall, known for her 55-year study on the social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, Rita Colwell, researcher in oceanography and bacteriology. Tu Youyou and Josefina Castellví i Piulachs also belong to her generation. The first of them is a Chinese scientist, known for discovering artemisinin (also known as dihydroartemisinin), used to treat malaria that in 2015 won the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine. Finally, Josefina Castellví, was an oceanographer. She was the first Spaniard to participate in an international expedition to Antarctica in 1984.

Descripción
