Dr Madeleine Pownall gestures at a PowerPoint slide which reads “The Missing History of Women in Psychology”
In what’s been a busy week here at @micireland.bsky.social Psychology, a highlight was getting a sneak preview of @maddipow.bsky.social ‘s new book at the start of our annual Psychfest event.
Can't begin to tell you how proud I am of this acknowledgment from @maddipow.bsky.social in her new book 'Absent Minds: The Untold Story of the Women who Changed Psychology Forever'. Looking forward to the launch!
