This goes for history class as much as it goes for Hollywood, and it is pretty appalling that the women featured in ths book have been completely ignored by history. Plus, interviews with real-life women in STEM careers, an extensive bibliography, and a guide to women-centric science and technology organizations-all to show the many ways the geeky girls of today can help to build the future. In Wonder Women, author Sam Maggs tells the stories of the brilliant, brainy, and totally rad women in history who broke barriers as scientists, engineers, mathematicians, adventurers, and inventors. Smart women have always been able to achieve amazing things, even when the odds were stacked against them. Huang Daopo, the inventor whose weaving technology revolutionized textile production in China-centuries before the cotton gin?.Mary Sherman Morgan, the rocket scientist whose liquid fuel compounds blasted the first U.S.Alice Ball, the chemist who developed an effective treatment for leprosy-only to have the credit taken by a man?.You may think you know women’s history pretty well. A fun and feminist celebration of the forgotten women in science, technology, and beyond-from the bestselling author of The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy.
