Summary

Advances in science have changed our world, all thanks to the scientists behind important discoveries. Some of the most important discoveries have come from female scientists, who were as unique for their work as they were for being trailblazers in a male-dominated industry. This text offers a biographical treatment of such important scientists as Marie Curie, Rachel Carson, and Jane Goodall, as well as others who have made it possible for women of the future to have a career in science
