Her writing has helped recover and share the lives of scientists who were often left out of older histories. Among her noted books are Marie Curie: A Biography and Sweeping the Stars: The Story of Caroline Herschel, and she is also known for reference works on women in science.
Ogilvie's career has been shaped by a clear, lasting interest in how scientific work is remembered and who gets included in that story. That makes her books especially appealing to listeners who enjoy biography, science history, and accounts of overlooked pioneers.
