Description

THE WORLD'S FIRST CHEMIST WAS A WOMAN.

Before Socrates, before alchemy, before the scientific revolution, her name was inscribed on a cuneiform tablet: Tapputi-Belatekallim.

Dating back to the second millennium BC, Tapputi was the powerful Mistress of the Palace in Babylonian Mesopotamia. She didn't just mix scents; she commanded an industrial process, systematically developing and refining techniques for extraction, filtration, and complex separation cycles. She was an executive, an educator, and a master of transformation.

The World's First Chemist: Tapputi-Belatekallim is a groundbreaking excavation of a forgotten history, placing a foundational female figure back at the origin of modern chemistry. This is the story of how one woman's systematic ingenuity, preserved on a clay fragment, reshaped our understanding of ancient science. Approx.150 pages, 30200 word count
