Acerca de esta escucha

Much of today's telecom tech – was invented by a woman. She was a very famous actress in her day. Can you name her?

One famous photograph of a very tiny thing led to the discovery of the structure of DNA. Do you know the name of the woman who took that photo?

You're watching a police drama on TV and you see an officer put on a bullet-proof vest made of Kevlar. Know which woman invented that?

Before computers, there were "computers," women who did the heavy math lifting with the pre-electronic tools available to them, namely their math-inclined brains. Would you recognize the names of these "hidden figures"?

This book tells the stories of these four – and nine more – detailing their struggles and triumphs, nearly always flying in the face of institutional barriers. Women have been doing science for as long as men have, but often don't get the same kind of recognition – or, indeed, the same kinds of opportunities. These 13 women succeeded despite conventional wisdom and unequal opportunity. They came from various places – Austria, Sweden, Hungary, and the United States – and all followed their path of discovery, pursuing goals with tenacity and determination.

From the painstaking lab work of astronomers Henrietta Swan Leavitt and Maria Goeppert Mayer to the very cutting-edge immunotherapy employed by Karalin Karikó to create a COVID vaccine – this book takes a deep dive into the life stories of these women (who should be more well-known than they are) and details how what they did revolutionized scientific thinking.

In this book:
  • Thirteen Stories of Women Scientists, Inventors, and Discoverers
  • Uplifting episodes of triumph
  • Inspiring examples of how the women defied norms and societal pressures
  • Support your interests in STEM learning and education
  • Find your inventive path to success
A perfect gift for any teen or adult!
