???? Sandi Toksvig is taking a break from the @DarwinCollegeLectureSeries to work on putting women’s stories on the map, and redress the gaps in female history and representation.

???? One story she is sharing is that of Mariam al Astrulabi or Al-ʻIjliyyah from the Islamic Golden Age. Her astrolabes were an essential tool for astronomy, proving especially useful in the Muslim world when determining the dates of Ramadan.

This lecture was given as part of the @DarwinCollegeLectureSeries, the full version of which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG6Ier4UC_8
