A STEM-focused addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling She
Persisted series!
Throughout history, women have been told that science isn't for them.
They've been told that they're not smart enough, or that their brains
just aren't able to handle it. In this book, Chelsea Clinton introduces
readers to women scientists who didn't listen to those who told them
"no" and who used their smarts, their skills and their persistence to
discover, invent, create and explain.
She Persisted in Science is for everyone who's ever had questions
about the world around them or the way things work, and who won't give
up until they find their answers.
With engaging artwork by Alexandra Boiger accompanying the inspiring
text, this is a book that shows readers that everyone has the potential
to make a difference, and that women in science change our world.
This book features: Florence Nightingale, Rebecca Lee Crumpler, Ynes
Enriquetta Julietta Mexia, Grace Hopper, Rosalind Franklin, Gladys West,
Jane Goodall, Flossie Wong-Staal, Temple Grandin, Zaha Hadid, Ellen
Ochoa, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha & Mari Copeny, and Autumn Peltier, Greta
Thunberg & Wanjiru Wathuti
