Annie Scott Dill Maunder was an Irish-British astronomer, who recorded the first evidence of the movement of sunspot emergence from the poles toward the equator over the sun's 11-year cycle.

In 1916 she was elected to the Royal Astronomical Society, 21 years after being refused membership because of her gender.
