Hachette Children's Group Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who
Book SynopsisA gloriously illustrated celebration of trailblazing women. Women in Science highlights the contributions of fifty notable women to the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, from both the ancient and modern worlds. The book also contains fascinating infographics and an illustrated scientific glossary. The extraordinary women profiled include well-known figures like the physicist and chemist Marie Curie, as well as lesser-known pioneers such as Katherine Johnson, the African-American mathematician who calculated the trajectory of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Women in Science celebrates the achievements of the intrepid women who have paved the way for the next generation of female engineers, biologists, mathematicians, doctors, astronauts, physicists and beyond ...Trade ReviewThis is most definitely a book to be read by your daughters and your sons and one which is sure to inspire a future generation of 'Women In Science'. * The Bookbag *Readers will find a wide variety of nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, orientations and social classes. Girls will find someone who looks like them. Hooray! And it's not just a selection of the usual suspects either - Marie Curie is here, yes, but so are less famous women who were and are no less pioneering and brilliant. ...... and you know, Women in Science is also beautiful. Ignofotsky is a graphic designer and she has produced here not just beautiful illustrations that draw the eye and persuade it to linger, but also a great density of information distilled into nuggets of wonderful clarity. I could look at this book for hours. I wish I could have owned it as a child because I just know I would have returned to it over and over again.Highly, highly recommended. * The Bookbag *A fascinating and superbly presented book * Parents In Touch *I am in love with this book ... all girls should have a copy * Waterstones.com *Gorgeously illustrated ...

Women in Science captures the joy of so many essential discoveries while also celebrating the extraordinary lives of the women who've achieved them. -- Rachel Swaby, author of Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science and the WorldThough the number of women working in Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacture (STEM) is slowly on the increase, there is still a huge abscence of women pursuing jobs within the sector today. And that is exactly why young readers need a book like Women in Science! Ignotofsky explores a subject matter that is not only relevant but, in my opinion, essential for inspiring the next generation of female pioneers for the future. What I love most about the look and feel of this book is that it uses colorful infographics. It is, in no way, prissy or feminine. And with a real mixed bag of over fifty women discussed, with more mentioned at the back, you can't help but read it and think how great an addition it would be to any school library. * The School Librarian *Table of Contents 6: Introduction 8: Hypatia 10: Maria Sibylla Merian 12: Wang Zhenyi 14: Mary Anning 16: Ada Lovelace 18: Elizabeth Blackwell 20: Hertha Ayrton 22: Karen Horney 24: Nettie Stevens 26: Florence Bascom 28: Marie Curie 30: Mary Agnes Chase 32: Timeline 34: Lise Meitner 36: Lillian Gilbreth 38: Emmy Noether 40: Edith Clarke 42: Marjory Stoneman Douglas 44: Alice Ball 46: Gerty Cori 48: Joan Beauchamp Procter 50: Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin 52: Barbara McClintock 54: Maria Goeppert-Mayer 56: Grace Hopper 58: Rachel Carson 60: Lab tools 62: Rita Levi-Montalcini 64: Dorothy Hodgkin 66: Chien-Shiung Wu 68: Hedy Lamarr 70: Mamie Phipps Clark 72: Gertrude Elion 74: Katherine Johnson 76: Jane Cooke Wright 78: Rosalind Franklin 80: Rosalyn Yalow 82: Esther Lederberg 84: Statistics in STEM 86: Vera Rubin 88: Annie Easley 90: Jane Goodall 92: Sylvia Earle 94: Valentina Tereshkova 96: Patricia Bath 98: Christiane Nusslein-Volhard 100: Jocelyn Bell Burnell 102: Sau Lan Wu 104: Elizabeth Blackburn 106: Katia Krafft 108: Mae Jemison 110: May-Britt Moser 112: Maryam Mirzakhani 114: More women in science 116: Conclusion 118: Glossary 120: Sources 122: Acknowledgements 124: About the author 126: Index
