Women in Science: 50 fearless pioneers who changed the world by Rachel

Ignofsky.

A gloriously illustrated celebration of trailblazing women. Highlights the

contributions of fifty notable women to STEM fields of science, technology,

engineering and mathematics, from both the ancient and modern worlds. The

book also contains fascinating infographics and illustrated scientific glossary.

Women in Science celebrates the achievements of the intrepid women who

have paved the way for the next generation of female engineers, biologists,

mathematicians, doctors, astronauts, physicists and beyond ...

FOR IDEAS AND INSPIRATION …

The Atlas of Women in the World by Joni Seager

A great resource that uses maps to show similarities and differences, continuities and

contrasts among women around the world.

Among the key issues explored are those of: equality, motherhood, work, domestic

violence, the change in households, beauty culture, communications, lesbian rights

and government. The result is an invaluable resource on the status of women

around the world today.
