Synopsis

The 40 profiles of scientists, doctors, engineers, inventors, innovators, and disrupters in Girl Genius are sure to energise any young reader with a desire to solve problems, improve lives, and save the world (or maybe just make it run a little more smoothly). Each mini-biography tells a story of a woman who identified a problem and fixed it through some combination of ingenuity, experimentation, perseverance, hard work, and luck. These inspiring stories also provide advice and strategies for any reader who wants to follow in the footsteps of creative, resourceful, game-changing women like Marie Curie, Stephanie Kwolek, Keiana Cave, Grace Hopper, Sha Yao, Melinda Gates and more.
