## Resource

Solar energy didn’t start in the 21st century. In this special International Women’s Day episode of Ogami Station, we look back at the women who helped shape solar and energy innovation long before it went mainstream, starting with pioneer Maria Telkes. From early solar heating and thermal storage to today’s energy transition, this episode explores forgotten stories, present-day data, and why inclusion is still key to building the future of energy.
