Women In Science is a lovely and quick history of women…in science. A must read for any young girl, and a should read for most humans.
Women In Science is a brief history of scientific achievements made by women, who have often been overlooked in the annals of history. Each page gives a brief description of the life of a scientist as well as beautiful accompanying illustrations. Written and drawn by first time author, Rachel Ignotofsky, Women In Science is meant to inspire young women to aim to achieve great things in life.
I really enjoyed this book. While I knew most of the women there were a few fascinating scientists that I’d never heard of. I really appreciated the variety of sciences that were represented. We all expected Marie Curie, but there were also botanists, mathematicians, computer scientists (love Grace Hopper), paleontologists, and so forth. The book is also lovely to look at. The illustrations and colors are just so pretty and fun. I can’t imagine an ebook version capturing how neat this book is. This book is perfect for teaching young girls about important women in history. Hell, it’s perfect for showing anyone how much women have contributed to science and technology. This is one I’ll definitely be passing on to my niece.
Gorgeous illustrations
Easy and quick read for all ages
Writing style is “cute” and clearly aimed at a young audience, but that’s also who it’s meant for
