Acerca de esta escucha

Spanning the 19th and 20th centuries, this fascinating history explores the lives and achievements of great women in science across the globe.

Ten Women Who Changed Science and the World tells the stories of trailblazing women who made a historic impact on physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy, and medicine. Included in this volume are famous figures, such as two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, as well as individuals whose names will be new to many, though their breakthroughs were no less remarkable.

These women overcame significant obstacles, discrimination, and personal tragedies in their pursuit of scientific advancement. They persevered in their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask "how?" and "why?", each of these women made a positive impact on the world we live in today.

I originally set out to find a book about Marie Curie, and stumbled into this. I’m glad I did! This is a group of 10 mini biographies with about 45 minutes spent on each. The authors did an excellent job of delving into the details of their work without going so deep that it would be difficult to understand for non-scientists to understand. I also appreciate that, while these women’s personal lives were mentioned, they weren’t the focus as they often are in documentaries or movies.
The narrator is easy to listen to for hours at a time.

Would be wonderful if this kind of information were taught to students in grade school or high school. I’m glad to know it now. Women have played significant roles in the advancement of humanity.

Fascinating Facts not widely known

Loved the first 3/4 however, the last two chapters dragged to the point of nonsense. They hyper focused on the particulars of the exact discoveries even though the average layperson has no idea, (and doesn't care), what it is. It ruined the book. It was beyond boring and ruined the experience. It felt as if a second writer came in at the end of the last two chapters.

Great Accomplishments

This was an interesting book that looked at ten women of science. The authors primarily chose women who won the Nobel Prize, in one of the fields of science. There were a few selected that had not won the Prize but the authors felt they should have won. The authors concentrated on women of the 19th and 20th Century. Women who advanced in the 19th century were exceptional as in most countries women were not allowed to have a university education or hold jobs in the fields of science; this began to change in the 20th century.

The book was well written and researched. Some of the women they chose were obvious such as Marie Currie; but they did present some of my favorite scientists such as environmentalist, Rachael Carson, who did not win the Nobel Prize. Others of my favorites that were presented that won the Nobel Prize were Virginia Apgar, Chien-Shiung Wu and Rita Levi-Montalcini. When I was in school, these women inspired me to continue in the field of science. All these women were fascinating, brilliant women. This is primarily a collection of mini-biographies and helps reveal just how far women have advanced in education and the work-place since those days.

The book is ten hours and twenty-five minutes. Lisa Coleman does a good job narrating the book. Coleman is an English actress and audiobook narrator. This book was published by Hachette Publishers.

interesting and informative. Clearly demonstrates the hurdles that women in science have had to deal with because they are women.
