Alice Ball: The Chemist Who Changed Medicine — Then History Forgot Her

She was only 23 years old when she made a discovery that helped transform the treatment of Hansen’s disease. Yet her name remained in the shadows for decades. Alice Augusta Ball was a chemist who deserves a place among the remarkable women in the history of science. This is a story not only about a discovery, but also about authorship, recognition, and the women whose contributions we are still bringing back from obscurity. History deserves to be told in full. #WomenInHistory #AliceBall #HistoryOfScience #RemarkableWomen #ForgottenNames
