A History of Science

[Mary K. Hacker]

Hello Everyone!
        I am a student currently enrolled in an independent study class.  The
challenge that I have chosen for myself is to create a curriculum (or
suggested curriculum) for a class on the history of science.  I am aware that
this could be a monumentally huge topic and need to create some boundaries 
for myself & the curriculum.  My question is this: Does anyone know of a
text or writing that can provide me with a comprehensive timeline of 
science: biology, chemistry, physics, and important specialties etc.?
        Also, since I attend a women's college (Alverno College, Milw Wi), 
It would be nice to give due attention to the accomplishments of women in
the field.  Thanks for any suggestions that you may have. :)
