Book ID/图书代码： 11186016B89023
English Summary/英文概要： Today, many women are making huge strides in science, but they’re hardly the first. Have you heard of...
...Noor Inayat Khan, the Indian-American Allied spy who convinced a German to help set up her wireless antenna by telling him it was a laundry line?
...Maria Sibylla Merian, the German painter and scientist who made the world’s first scientific expedition because she wanted to study bugs in their native Amazon?
...Huang Daopo, the inventor who fled an abusive child marriage only to revolutionize textile production in China, centuries before the invention of the cotton gin?
...Sarah Edmonds, the American woman so inspired by the cross-dressing heroine of her favorite novel that she put on pants and joined the Union Army?
With her trademark warmth, wit, and enthusiasm, Sam Maggs offers profiles of these women--and many, many more--who changed the world with their passion, smarts, and determination. Subjects span the globe and are diverse in ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. An extensive bibliography, plus an appendix on how to get involved in woman-centric science, technology, and math organizations today, make this perfect for both casual readers and the classroom.
