Women in Science
Written & illustrated
By Rachel Ignotofsky
These are two-page stories of women who were curious, inventive, smart, strong, and determined. They made their way in a field that has been thought of for centuries as a man’s field: Science. They contributed to our world in powerful ways.
The illustrations are fascinating and detailed. I recommend this book for Upper Elementary children for two reasons:
- the print is extremely small, so it would be very difficult for Lower Elementary children to read; and
- Upper Elementary years are the time when many girls begin to think that math and science are not for them. It is an interesting and fun book!
