I loved the sections on Heddy Lamar and Rosalind Franklin. I thought I already knew these stories, but I learned a good bit more here. I like the fact that the stories were not reduced to some simplistic variant on "This woman was smart but the man was keeping her down." Instead, they are shown as real, complicated people with their own issues to deal with.
They made the wise decision not to focus too much on Marie Curie, because her story is relatively well-known.
I'd love to see more work like this. There are plenty more scientists, male and female, whose stories are worth telling.
To others who liked this, I would also recommend [b:Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story|17287065|Woman Rebel The Margaret Sanger Story|Peter Bagge|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1363435071s/17287065.jpg|23907137]

Freaking awesome! Brilliant, compelling snippets about women scientists. Each story made me run for my computer so that I could find biographies about these women and learn more.
