Women in Science is a biography book written and illustrated by Rachel Ignotofsky. The book explores some of the essential and amazing discoveries made by women who were pioneers in their fields of expertise. The book also gives the reader some background about the lives of these women. There are some of the world's most well-known women scientists such as Jane Goodall as well as lesser-known women such as Florence Bascomb. There are all types of scientists in this book, from archaeologists to geologists and physicists.The book begins with some explanatory material about the reality of the times in which these women lived. For example, bans on women in medical and graduate school and public ridicule. The writing is complemented by somewhat whimsical illustrations that add to the fun yet educational nature of the book.My only issue was that the pages are "busy", which can make it difficult to focus. The font size is also small, which might just be a function of my myopic eyeballs. However, the book got physically hard to read after a while due to the business of the pages and the small font size. Content-wise, this book is great and could inspire school age girls to learn more about these great women.Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for writing an honest review. I did not receive any other compensation.
Praise goes to Rachel Ignotofsky for assembling these tributes to important women in science. There is much that is good about the book and its biographies, but many aspects of the design detract from its message. The fanciful caricatures become monotonous after awhile. The interesting facts sprinkled around the ‘portraits’ and in the margins are a distraction from the main articles that are difficult to read anyway owing to the small print. The science is occasionally oversimplified into serious inaccuracy.Many of the definitions in the glossary are misleading and incomplete, wrong, or introduce terms incorrectly, sometimes not otherwise defined; some seem to be partially extracted from wikipedia without a full understanding of the science. So let the reader beware.
This is an absolutely fantastic book! I got it as a present for a toy drive for a pre-teen girl and I am thinking of getting one for all the women and girls I know of all ages. The artwork is wonderful and the information is presented concisely but entertainingly. It's not an encyclopedia with an extremely detailed outline of each experiment conducted by each woman, but the information is fascinating and can inspire a young mind to investigate further.
I bought this for my second-grade daughter who loves science. At first glance she was turned off by the small type but a few minutes later came back and wanted me to read with her. For an elementary schooler it will likely be a read together book for a while. Which is fine since we've just read a few pages and it opened up opportunities to discuss all sorts of things, about science and society, and piqued our interest to look up additional pictures and facts on the Internet. I am learning too! And it is a beautiful book to hold and look at.
We have been building a collection of female empowering books for our 7 year old. Amoung our favorites is this one. I even bought a copy for her 2nd grade teacher to have in the classroom.Some others in our collection include:-“Women in Sports: 50 Fearless Athletes Who Played to Winâ€-“Good Night Stories for Rebel Girlsâ€-“Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2â€-“Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G. vs. Inequalityâ€-“Why We March: Signs of Protest and Hope--Voices from the Women's March†(we marched in DC so she loved having this book)-“The Pink Hatâ€
I read this book in combination with Catherine Thimmesh's Girls Think of Everything, regretting that civilization has not as yet reached a point when achievements no longer need be identified as gender-specific. Be that as it may, both books provide valuable information and insights about creative thinking.Rachel Ignotofsky focuses on 50 "fearless pioneers" during a time frame that extends from Hypatia (350-370 CE-415 CE [?]) until Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017). Women in the United States were not permitted to vote until 1920 and access to higher education was denied -- or at least severely limited -- to women who wanted to pursue a degree in medicine or in the STEM fields: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Moreover, resistance to women's personal growth and professional development has been even wider and deeper in most other countries.These are among the mini-profiles of "fearless pioneers" that are of greatest interest and value to me:o Ada Lovelace (1815-1852): Mathematician,; collaborator with Charles Babbage on first computer programo Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910): Physician; founder of several medical societies in U.S. and Englando Alice Ball (1892-1916): Chemist; developed a new treatment of leprosy victims throughout the worldo Marie Curie (1867-1934): Physicist and chemist; Nobel laureate (twice)o Barbara McClintock (1902-1992): Cytogeneticist; revised views of evolution and botany; Nobel laureateo Grace Hopper (1906-1992): Navy admiral and computer scientist; invented first compilero Rachel Carson (1907-1964): Marine biologist and conservationist; author of the Silent Springo Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000): Inventor and film actress; developed frequency-hopping spread system (FHSS) used in smartphones, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth deviceso Katherine Johnson (1918- ): Physicist and mathematician calculated trajectories for NASA; featured in the book and film, Hidden Figureso Jane Goodall (1934- ): Primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist; renowned for research on chimpanzeeso Valentina Tereshkova (1937- ): Engineer and Cosmonaut; first woman to travel in outer space; orbited Earth 48 times in Vostok VIo Elizabeth Blackburn (1948- ): Molecular biologist; invented telomarase (enzyme that builds telomeres); Nobel Laureateo Maye Jemison (1956- ): Astronaut, educator, and physician; first African-American woman in outer space; founder and CEO of several corporationsRachel Ignotofsky concludes, "The women in this book prove to the world that no matter your gender, your race, or your background, anyone can achieve great things. Their legacy lives on. Today, women all over the world are still risking everything to discover and explore."Let us celebrate these trailblazers so we can inspire the next generation. Together, we can pick up where they left off, and continue the search for knowledge."So go out and tackle new problems, find your answers, and learn everything you can to make your own discoveries!"That is her challenge to the young women who read this book but it is also a challenge to others -- parents, other family members, teachers, coaches, and clergy -- who can support their efforts. I also urge those young women to keep in mind this valuable insight from Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
