Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World [Hardcover] Ignotofsky, Rachel

Women in Science is neatly and simply written and gloriously illustrated by Rachel Ignotofsky. This book is short- can be read in 1, 2 or 3 days but it is also the kind that will make you want to come back to it again and again! Wonderful and informative.

This great book that talks about incredible women around the world. It is an inspiration to everyone who loves to read about the groundbreaking efforts of women. I am in love with the illustrations and the stories behind.

Catchy book, hardbound with glossy pages and beautiful illustrations. Any child would be happy to have this in their collection. Glad I bought it.

Pros:The book on a whole is quite nicely illustrated, easy to understand.Moreover, for each scientist, there were bits and pieces of useful information with images, which is the USP of the book.The other USPs include the statistical data about women and men in STEM, the gender gap, etc., which is quite eye-opening and informative.Cons:Even great authors need great editors.I have found a few glaring errors in the book.For example :"suffragist" was written as "suggragist";"male colleagues" was written as "male colleges"Since many young kids will be reading this, there maybe wrong interpretation and confusion.

Pros:Beautiful illustrations and designLooks and feels premium. Kids who are not so much into reading will also love thisThough the book focuses on STEM it will appeal to all. Also you have a glossary at the back of book to help understand scientific termsGood coverage of women across fields and geographiesThis book is perfect in a perfectly imperfect way.

I gifted the book to my lil' sister on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. And she loved it to the core.

My daughter likes it a lot

Amazing purchase

Bought for my sister. Will buy again for my daughter. Full of fun facts. Cute illustrations as well.

She is not the type of person to express easy approval for the unexpected item even if she knows how good the gift is and no matter how discontent she may found out with a detail, it's not so apparent but the feelings use to be sincere. Therefore, when she enthusiastically said that the piece is a gem, I guess I got it on bull's eye, cause it was something certainly she had no idea to have or to see it till that moment. So, points for Amz. to made it home and to the daddy?

Purchased as a gift. The book is very informative and the content is just right for a primary school child who is finding their love for science

The media could not be loaded. Libro de tamaño mediano y tapas duras. Cuenta con 127 páginas divididas de la siguiente forma: Hola pequeña introducción, 50 historias de mujeres científicas, hojas informativas cómo la línea del tiempo, herramientas de laboratorio, estadísticas, etc. Al final cuenta con una conclusión, una página con más científicas a modo de resumen, un glosario con distintos términos, las fuentes en las que se basan el libro, una página del autor, agradecimientos, y un índice. Me gusta la composición por qué es un libro científico, con todos los elementos que se necesitan.El diseño del libro no es convencional. Es un libro oscuro en su mayor parte, En una hoja aparece la científica a color, y en la siguiente aparece la descripción de su vida y su descubrimiento escrito en el mismo tono. Cada científica ocupa 2 páginas.El nivel de inglés no es del todo complicado, aunque debéis de tener en cuenta que dependiendo de la científica se citan conceptos específicos de la materia.En resumen un libro con muchos datos y mucha información interesante, para aprender cosas nuevas e interiorizar que la ciencia no solo es de hombres!Espero que os ayude nuestra experiencia!

It's a detailed book about whom these women geniuses were and what they were about. They were some of the true pioneers of women in technology and science. If anyone ever wondered if women can have technical, scientific brains and the minds to go with them, then this book is one of the best. It's also colourful in content and has a different font. Some of the women's careers include; Marie Curie - Physicist & Chemist, Valentina Tereshkova - Engineer & Cosmonaut, Rosalyn Yalow - Medical Physicist, Jane Cooke Wright - Onocologist, Katherine Johnson - Physicist & Mathematician, Chien-Shiung Wu - Experimental Physicist, Grace Hopper - Navy Admiral & Computer Scientist, Alice Ball - Chemist, Edith Clarke - Electrical Engineer, Ada Lovelace - Mathematician & Programmer and so many more interesting technical & scientific geniuses.So if you have ever wondered if women can have minds that go well beyond the expected, double standard stereotypes, then this book is for you. I love it! Even I as a woman myself didn't know all these great minds as I was never that good in history. Brilliance doesn't always have the face of Einstein and he is one of my favourites. The faces of brilliance also come in the type that don't need a shave. This book is written by a brilliant author and writer. It can re-educate both men and women alike. It's also an educational book that's good to read to the younger generation.I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
