Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science-And the World by Rachel Swaby

4.0

This lovely little collection does a fantastic job of providing brief, comprehensive summaries of brilliant female scientists, many of whom are virtually unknown. These admirable ladies are grouped by their scientific specialties and each is lauded for her accomplishments as well as her quirks and originality. Overall, Headstrong is an inspiring book that provides a wonderful starting point for exploring the lives of women who have shaped scientific history (mostly anonymously) for four centuries.
