Women In Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World
Rachel Ignotofsky
Review
by Athina Clarke
From ancient times to the present day clever women pursuing their dreams and passions have made incredible contributions to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, often against tremendous odds and with little support from society, family or peers. Women in Science showcases 50 remarkable women who have built the modern world – from universal computer language to cataract surgery – and it makes me proud (as a woman and a science graduate) to learn that Marie Curie was the first person awarded two Nobel Prizes – and in two different sciences! Every library and home should have a copy of this outstanding publication. It celebrates historically important women in science, and their achievements are thoughtfully and lovingly presented in beautiful illustrations. It’s a delight to read. Every child deserves a copy of Women in Science; it’s important to know that history is just as much HERstory. Very highly recommended for ages 10 and up.
