Brilliant Women: Pioneers of Science and Technology
Georgia Amson-Bradshaw, Rita Petruccioli
In Pioneers of Science and Technology you’ll say hello to Hypatia, an ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer. You’ll learn about Lise Meitner, the heroic Jewish physicist who escaped the Nazis. You’ll join Jane Goodall who lived in the jungle studying apes. These women are just a few of the many who followed their passion for science and technology, and weren’t put off by people telling them they couldn’t or shouldn’t. And along the way they discovered radiation, wrote the first computer program, expanded our knowledge of the universe and flew into space.
Curious, provocative, engaging, brave, and funny – women who change the world are diverse, intriguing and brilliant. Created by an all-women team and filled with wonderful illustrations, and engaging activities that will nurture your own varied skills, the Brilliant Women series compiles the stories of inspiring women from every field.

Perfect reading for the next generation of brilliant girls and boys. Suitable for readers aged 9 and up.

It was about great women working in a Science and Technology field.

The book was so fascinating. I enjoyed reading about all the women and their lives and jobs in science and technology. It made me feel very engaged and inspired. My favourite person in this book was Mary Anning and I enjoyed finding my own fossil after reading about her. I would recommend this book for other 9-10 year olds who like science and technology.
