A charmingly illustrated and educational book, New York Times best seller Women in Science highlights the contributions of fifty notable women to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) from the ancient to the modern world. Full of striking, singular art, this fascinating collection also contains infographics about relevant topics such as lab equipment, rates of women currently working in STEM fields, and an illustrated scientific glossary. 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! 

本书讲述了来自于数学、生物学、考古学、遗传学、物理学、化学、教育学、心理学、地质学、航空技术等领域杰出的50位女科学家的传奇故事。英国古生物学家玛丽•安宁，她在12 岁时就找到了*具完整的鱼龙化石，之后她又相继发现了两具蛇颈龙化石，证明了物种灭绝的真实性。中国清代女数学家兼诗人王贞仪，她在24 岁时就写出了5卷《术算简存》，专为数学初学者入门学习而用，她甚至用一个简单的模型就解释了日食、月食形成的原因。美国物理学家凯瑟琳•约翰逊，她在1969 年准确无误地计算了“阿波罗11 号”的运行轨道，确保宇航员们在完成人类*次登月之后，能够安全地返回地球……书中极具特色的手绘插画与丰富多彩的文字相映成趣，大到每位女科学家的人物画像，小到每项科研成就的荣誉勋章，华丽的色彩与童稚的线条巧妙搭配，让每位具有非凡人生的女科学家形象跃然纸上。此外，书中还绘制了科学家实验室里许多古怪有趣的装置和物质。有考古学家用来清理*的小刷子，天文学家用来观测行星的单筒望远镜，以及遗传学家在显微镜中观察到的可以决定性别的染色体等等。从古希腊时期到现代社会，这50位在科学领域做出杰出贡献的伟大女性，勇敢而温柔地对抗挫折，她们如夜空中璀璨的明星，在人类的文明发展进程中将永远闪耀光辉。她们凭借无所畏惧的精神告诉世人：未来，永远掌握在自己手中。
