Wonder Women of Science: Twelve Geniuses Who Are Currently Rocking Science, Technology, and the World

A parent might reach for this book when their child, particularly a daughter, expresses interest in STEM but lacks visible, contemporary role models. It is an excellent choice for a kid who needs a boost of confidence or a dose of inspiration to persevere through challenges. This book profiles twelve brilliant women who are currently working and innovating in fields like aerospace engineering, computer science, and marine biology. The stories focus not just on their incredible achievements, but on their childhood curiosity and the obstacles, including sexism and racism, they overcame. It’s an empowering and accessible collection that proves that science is for everyone and that a brilliant career often begins with a simple question.
