Trailblazers: 33 Women in Science Who Changed the World

This is a great book, I use it in my middle school science classes to help inspire the young ladies I teach. Through this book they are able to see that women can make a difference and do anything that they set their minds to do, they just have to believe in theirselves even if no one else does. This book also helps open up the eyes of the young men in my classes who sometimes come from homes where for generations women have been expected to be at home or have certain jobs. We read it and other books about both male and female scientists and then have great discussions.

This was a copy of her book Headstrong . just has less people.

Brought to you by OBS reviewer KaytMiddle aged girls and boys too will learn about 33 amazing women that changed the world through science. Some at a time when women did not even have the right to vote or become professionals. These women such as Heddy LeMar – actress who helped us in her future by laying the foundation for wi-fi and GPS, to Mary Kies who got the first patent awarded to a woman in 1809 and Rachel Carson whose book paved the way for the EPA, these are astonishing accomplishments that will bring hope and pride to anyone reading Trailblazers: 33 Women in Science Who Changed the World.Through discrimination, desperation, determination and despair, these women triumphed and became leaders in their fields. Then I was growing up girls were not taught that would could excel in the areas of math and science. I did not learn about these wonderfully talented women, lots who came before me and some doing these awesome things at the time I was enjoying science class myself. This book is a wonderful and informative read that should be a great inspiration for young girls everywhere right now. Author Rachel Swaby has done a fantastic job bringing this information to the masses.

These stories add personalities to very accomplished women. They tell of the uphill battle they had to make and their many discoveries.
