"'Starry-Eyed Trail Blazer' tells about Maria Mitchell and the discovery of her comet; 'Starry-Eyed Gals' describes the earliest women to follow their stars and break new ground in the field of astronomy; 'A Woman of Substance' describes Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin who discovered the substance of stars; 'The Computers' tells the story of women hired to map the stars at the Harvard Observatory with precise methodology and new photographic processes; and 'Star Gazer' is the inspiring tale of Annie Jump Cannon, one of the women from the Harvard Observatory who rose from the ranks to break barriers for women in the field of astronomy."
