Shooting Stars: The Women Directors of the Meteor Section of the British Astronomical Association

In the early 20th century, three women amateur astronomers -- Catherine O. Stevens, Fiammetta Wilson, and A. Grace Cook -- made significant contributions to the Meteor Section of the British Astronomical Association, both as observers and as Directors of the Section. This paper discusses the role each played in meteoric science in general, and the Meteor Section in particular. It will be shown that all three women made significant and historically important contributions to the Section, and that their lives and work are worthy of study because of the light such study sheds on the birth and youth of amateur astronomical societies in the British Isles.
