   Christie’s ‘Lady Computers’ – the astrographic pioneers of Greenwich.

   The first women to be employed at the Royal Observatory in a professional capacity were Isabella Clemes, Alice Everett, Harriet Furniss, Edith Rix and Annie Russell. They were all employed as ‘Lady Computers’ between 1890 and 1895.
