Women in Science - 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed The World
I think, for being a girl, the biggest motivation and inspiration comes from reading about other girls and women who changed the world and how we live and how things are done. There are some Amazing people out there and some remarkable women who have done equally amazing things.
I recently read the book, "Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed The World," which was written and illustrated by Rachel Ignotofsky.
The book is full of quick bios on 50 women who dramatically impacted science. From chemists to psychoanalysts, to writers conservationists, to engineers and cosmonautsand astronauts to mathematicians. The expanse of women across the field of science and related professions is inspiring.
I never knew there were so many women in our history. We always focus on the men that changed the world, but now this book, puts the focus on all the women. Go Girl!
At the beginning of the book, is a well written Introduction, that explains the sacrifice many women made to be a part of science and technology. A long time ago, and in some instances today even, women were not thought of to be smart. Women have had a rough road in proving their worth, outside of the home. Many women risked their reputation, their career and their lives in the name of science.
The 50 women in this book include well known contributors such as, Marie Curie, the physicist/chemist who helped discover and understand radiation. She also was the only person to win a Nobel Peace Prize in two different areas of work.
The book also mentions a vast majority of women, most of whom I have never even heard of, who invented things or discovered stuff or even helped shape the future of the world through science and technology.
Each mini bio includes an illustration of the women, by Rachel Ignotofsky herself, drawn in a cute, artistic fashion and the bio which gives a quick history of their greatest accomplishments. The pages have a lot of smaller sized doodles which are tailored to the woman it is discussing.
It is an interesting and inspiring read and also fun with all the pictures and tidbits.
There is even a glossary in the back that explains terminology and areas of study, along with other features throughout the book like a Timeline of the history of women in Science, lab tools used, statistics and more women in science.
This would be a great book for any reader, young or old, especially girls. These stories prove that women are more than beautiful specimens on this earth, but that we actually contain brains too!
You can find this book on the authors website HERE
Or find it HERE on Amazon.
I was compensated with a free copy of this book from Blogging For Books, but the opinions here are my own.
