Galileo's daughter is not often spoken of in History books but, she is essential to her father. In his older years, Galileo was a sickly man, and his daughter brought him medicine, which in turn kept him alive. She was very advanced for her time in the ways that she thought to prepare medicine. For instance, she used honey to stick to different substances together, almost like a pill. Also, while Galileo was writing his book, he would mail his daughters drafts and she would edit him and return them to him. She helped him write and to assemble his manuscripts. Without his daughter, Galileo probably wouldn't have lived long enough to make the great discoveries that he did.
