But have you ever heard of. . . · Alice Ball, the chemist who developed an effective treatment for leprosy&;only to have the credit taken by a man? · Mary Sherman Morgan, the rocket scientist whose liquid fuel compounds blasted the first U.S. satellite into orbit? · Huang Daopo, the inventor whose weaving technology revolutionized textile production in China&;centuries before the cotton gin? Smart women have always been able to achieve amazing things, even when the odds were stacked against them. 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. 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. Table of Contents: Women of Science Women of Medicine Women of Espionage Women of Innovation Women of Adventure Review: I LOVE this book - I just purchased this yesterday and am just getting into it but I had to stop and write a review. I LOVE this book! Since March is Women's Herstory Month, I thought it would be fun to learn about women I hadn't heard of. The authors commentary as the stories unfold makes me feel like I am having a conversation with a friend and learning something in the process. I had heard of a few of the women featured in the book but not many of them. If you are like me, you might be angry over the way these amazing women were treated; having their research co-opted by others, being allowed to work but in substandard conditions and sometimes without pay! But these are stories about women who matter; who made a difference despite the obstacles placed before them. People need to hear about these women... Review: Wonder Women is a good start ... - The book contained a lot of pieces on women through the ages with a spectrum of talents; but the pieces weren't very meaty. It would do well for a preteen to show her just how many marvelous, intelligent, courageous women there have been throughout history whose talents ranged from poetess to astronomer, mathematician to chemist, writer to artist, barn-stormng pilot to astronaut to deep sea diver. If those snippets of information were meant to whet the appetite of girls to encourage them to research more deeply into the women who interested them, then the book met its goal. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,480,481 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,723 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) #9,281 in Sociology Reference #9,979 in Women's Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 189 Reviews | ## Images ![Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and Trailblazers Who Changed History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VuBvKR2eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I LOVE this book *by K***R on March 5, 2018* I just purchased this yesterday and am just getting into it but I had to stop and write a review.
