Women in STEM: Against All Odds
features fifteen biographies of brilliant women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from across the world. Spanning from the early 1800s to the twenty-first century, all of the women in this book overcame a multitude of obstacles to become trailblazers in their fields.
Two centuries ago, most women were barred from gaining a comprehensive education, let alone entering science fields. Today they hold some of the world's most prestigious prizes, including the Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize, and more. They have come a long way! This book pays homage to some of our underrepresented female scientists and their lasting impacts. From pure mathematics to phytochemistry to meteorology, learn about the various STEM fields and hurdles that these women faced in gaining their success.
