Hace casi un siglo, en un abarrotado despacho del Observatorio de Harvard, una mujer brillante, hoy casi olvidada, descubri??? el secreto de la inmensidad del universo. Su nombre es Henrietta Swan Leavitt y, en los d???as en que a las mujeres les estaba prohibido tener carreras cient???ficas, era lo que se conoc???a como una "calculista" -una calculadora humana de n???meros- que, luchando contra una salud muy d???bil, descubri??? una nueva ley que transformar???a la cosmolog???a. Usando la ley de Leavitt, el legendario astr???nomo Edwin Hubble demostr??? que hab???a estrellas -y galaxias enteras- m???s all??? de la V???a L???ctea, y que el universo, como ahora sabemos, es inmensurablemente grande. Con la gracia y habilidad que le han convertido en uno de los m???s distinguidos escritores cient???ficos de la actualidad, George Johnson contrasta astutamente la magnitud del descubrimiento de Leavitt con la tranquila obscuridad de su corta vida. Antes de Hubble, Miss Leavitt es tanto un relato brillante de c???mo medimos el universo como la emotiva historia de un genio olvidado.
