Entry #2
February 23rd 1890
People often ask me why I am a physicist. To their snarky questions I usually respond "Because I wish to understand the way the world works." I know what their real question is. They want to know why a woman is bothering with a man's job. I can hear them snickering to themselves as I walk away, making comments about me behind me back. "The way the world works is the man makes the world work and you make sure he has a nice place to come home to" they say. I am determined to prove them wrong, that a woman is just as capable of progressing human understanding as any man. The project I am currently on is sure to show them just how capable woman can be. I may have found a way to indefinitely suspend an atom in the air so that is does not fall. I am preparing my research thesis and I will present this at the next convention in Washington DC. I will show all those high and mighty men the capabilities of Rosalind Lutece! I must settle down now and get back to work, or I never prove anything to anyone.
