About this listen

The New York Times best seller Women in Science highlights the contributions of 50 notable women to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), from the ancient to the modern world. This fascinating collection contains information about relevant topics, such as lab equipment and rates of women currently working in STEM fields. The trailblazing women profiled include well-known figures like primatologist Jane Goodall, as well as lesser-known pioneers such as Katherine Johnson, the African-American physicist and mathematician who calculated the trajectory of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission to the moon.

Women in Science celebrates the achievements of the intrepid women who have paved the way for the next generation of female engineers, biologists, mathematicians, doctors, astronauts, physicists, and more!

Should be Mandatory Reading for Everyone

There are still many people in our world who believe that women are substandard in every way. It's more about grabbing power on every level than it is about gender. People oppress other people because of some characteristic-- gender, ethnicity, class-- so they can control everything. It's greed. But the more people who understand that anybody could be an important person, the better our society would function. This book would help anybody overcome misogyny or chauvinism. That's why it's so important to know that intellectual genius can occur in anyone regardless of their gender.
