Mary Anning

Join Greg Jenner for a fun homeschool history lesson on the life of palaeontologist Mary Anning.

Due to her gender and social standing, Mary’s vast contributions to palaeontology were often overlooked by the science community during her lifetime. She has since been voted one of the most influential women in the history of science.
