Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World [Hardcover] Ignotofsky, Rachel Hardcover – Deckle Edge, 4 October 2016

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.

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.

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.

This book is fantastic. The artwork and design are beautiful and the content is so accessible. I've learned so much about these female pioneers in science and medicine. My daughter and I have been reading about a few of these women every day and then we have a conversation about their accomplishments. Such an inspirational book.

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

Very good book for someone in peer teens. This book is quite inspiring according my child who is 11

I bought this as a gift for my cousins and I think its one of the best things I gave them. It is so important to see role models in our lives to get inspired and this book provides just that. Plus I love the minimalistic text with timeline approach - its makes it fun and easy to grasp.
