Product Description
All of these women were discouraged from pursuing careers in science, but they all persisted in their passion.
This portrays the youths and careers of six remarkable women whose curiosity about nature fueled a passion to steadfastly overcome obstacles to careers in traditionally men-only occupations. The six:
- Maria Merian (b 1647)
- Anna Comstock (b 1854)
- Frances Hamerstrom (b 1907)
- Rachel Carson (b 1907)
- Miriam Rothschild (b 1908)
- Jane Goodall (b 1934)
All became renowned scientists, artists and writers. A wonderful resource for young researchers and biographers, these stories can be a starting point for issues of gender, science, and the environment.
