Nice book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book! Especially for young minds!
*by S***R on July 13, 2025*

I loved reading this book and learning about the forgotten history of women in STEM. I would love to gift this book to young girls in STEM.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Standing atop the shoulders of so many "giants"
*by R***S on February 12, 2019*

I read this book in combination with Catherine Thimmesh's Girls Think of Everything, regretting that civilization has not as yet reached a point when achievements no longer need be identified as gender-specific. Be that as it may, both books provide valuable information and insights about creative thinking.Rachel Ignotofsky focuses on 50 "fearless pioneers" during a time frame that extends from Hypatia (350-370 CE-415 CE [?]) until Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017). Women in the United States were not permitted to vote until 1920 and access to higher education was denied -- or at least severely limited -- to women who wanted to pursue a degree in medicine or in the STEM fields: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Moreover, resistance to women's personal growth and professional development has been even wider and deeper in most other countries.These are among the mini-profiles of "fearless pioneers" that are of greatest interest and value to me:o Ada Lovelace (1815-1852): Mathematician,; collaborator with Charles Babbage on first computer programo Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910): Physician; founder of several medical societies in U.S. and Englando Alice Ball (1892-1916): Chemist; developed a new treatment of leprosy victims throughout the worldo Marie Curie (1867-1934): Physicist and chemist; Nobel laureate (twice)o Barbara McClintock (1902-1992): Cytogeneticist; revised views of evolution and botany; Nobel laureateo Grace Hopper (1906-1992): Navy admiral and computer scientist; invented first compilero Rachel Carson (1907-1964): Marine biologist and conservationist; author of the Silent Springo Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000): Inventor and film actress; developed frequency-hopping spread system (FHSS) used in smartphones, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth deviceso Katherine Johnson (1918- ): Physicist and mathematician calculated trajectories for NASA; featured in the book and film, Hidden Figureso Jane Goodall (1934- ): Primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist; renowned for research on chimpanzeeso Valentina Tereshkova (1937- ): Engineer and Cosmonaut; first woman to travel in outer space; orbited Earth 48 times in Vostok VIo Elizabeth Blackburn (1948- ): Molecular biologist; invented telomarase (enzyme that builds telomeres); Nobel Laureateo Maye Jemison (1956- ): Astronaut, educator, and physician; first African-American woman in outer space; founder and CEO of several corporationsRachel Ignotofsky concludes, "The women in this book prove to the world that no matter your gender, your race, or your background, anyone can achieve great things. Their legacy lives on. Today, women all over the world are still risking everything to discover and explore."Let us celebrate these trailblazers so we can inspire the next generation. Together, we can pick up where they left off, and continue the search for knowledge."So go out and tackle new problems, find your answers, and learn everything you can to make your own discoveries!"That is her challenge to the young women who read this book but it is also a challenge to others -- parents, other family members, teachers, coaches, and clergy -- who can support their efforts. I also urge those young women to keep in mind this valuable insight from Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
