Written and Illustrated by Rachel Ignotofsky. Reading Level: Young Adult. Hardback, 2016, fully illustrated. Excellent pre-owned condition. Very minor cosmetic scuffing from having been shelved; otherwise this copy is like new. "Witty and easy to understand, this fascinating, educational collection features 50 illustrated portraits of trailblazing women in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) throughout history. Full of striking, singular art, Women in Science also contains infographics about relevant topics such as lab equipment, rates of women currently working in STEM fields, and an illustrated scientific glossary. Women in Science celebrates the achievements of the intrepid women who have paved the way for the next generation of female engineers, biologists, mathematicians, doctors, astronauts, physicists, and more. The trailblazing women profiled here include Rachel Carson, Jane Goodall, Hedy Lamarr, Hypatia, and mathematician Katherine Johnson, who calculated the trajectory of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission of the first moon landing."
