10 Women Who Changed Science and the World by Catherine Whitlock, Rhodri Evans

informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

The title is pretty self-explanatory - "10 Women Who Changed Science and the World" focuses on...women who changed science and the world. Now that we have that synopsis out of the way, my opinion is that this book was a fascinating look into the discoveries and contributions of 10 brilliant women in recent history (the last 150 years). Some are well known (such as Marie Curie) while most are less known, often shadowed by the men in the field (shocker, right?). I wish the book had been longer, with more women mentioned, but I get it, it's gotta stop somewhere and then is a nice even number.

If you enjoy the world of science, history, or just reading about some kick-ass women, this is a book worth checking out.
