We worked on the most important women of science as a CLIL project: here are some of them. There are 10 astronomers and 10 computer scientists to include a variety of time and place. Though often missing from today's list of great astronomers, women have been active within the field of astronomy since ancient times. Women's contributions to computer science and technology include developing the first computer program, inventing computational methods, and advancing space technology. Yet, women's contributions to science and technology have largely been written out of history.
