British author and educator Jane Marcet died #OTD in 1858.

Her popular science books were among the first to bring such subjects into the domestic sphere, inspiring a generation of future scientists and thinkers. Her book "Conversations on Chemistry" (1805) served as a foundational text for many, including Michael Faraday, who credited it with sparking his interest in science.
