Women in Science by Rachel Ignotofsky

Women in Science by Rachel Ignotofsky is a beautifully illustrated work which presents the lives of 50 women in the science field who broke barriers and made significant contributions to the world.  Their stories of determination, perseverance, and courage are each told in a two-page spread with informative side graphics.  Katherine Johnson, a physicist and mathematician, whose work recently was celebrated in the film Hidden Figures, is featured among other brilliant women.  Some are well-known like Marie Curie and Jane Goodall but others not so much like Jane Cooke Wright and Sau Lan Wu.  All should be known and celebrated for their contributions to science.
