Nettie Stevens was expected to do what any woman born in the 1860s was expected to do... but she had other plans. Nettie devoted her life to becoming a scientist, a goal she achieved despite having to take breaks to earn enough money to pay for more schooling. Then, while studying mealworms, she made a discovery that would change our understanding of sex, gender, and reproduction forever.
