NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This “wittily illustrated [and] accessible volume” (The Wall Street Journal) highlights the contributions of fifty notable women to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) from the ancient to the modern world.
“The must-read, girl-power STEM book.”—InStyle
It’s a scientific fact: Women rock! This fascinating, educational collection features 50 illustrated portraits of trailblazing women in STEM throughout history. Full of striking, singular art, Women in Science also contains infographics about relevant topics such as lab equipment, rates of women currently working in STEM fields, and an illustrated scientific glossary. The trailblazing women profiled include such pioneers as primatologist Jane Goodall and mathematician Katherine Johnson, who calculated the trajectory of the 1969 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 more!
Showcasing women in STEM fields is so freaking important for our future. We make up half the population and a woman can absolutely be the person to create a cure for cancer, or discover the next black hole, or a new species, or uncover an extinct species, be the first person on Mars, anything.
These women show us that we can not be held back or limited by our circumstances. And that knowledge really is an incredibly powerful thing to always work to obtain. No matter the costs.
