Some of the women in this book are well-known names, such as Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, and Jane Goodall. But others are less well-known, but their contributions are just as important. For example, did you know that:

Emmy Noether was a German mathematician who made significant contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics.
Chien-Shiung Wu was a Chinese-American physicist who disproved the law of parity, which was thought to be a fundamental law of physics.
Grace Hopper was a computer scientist who developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.

These are just a few of the amazing women featured in this book. Their stories will inspire you to pursue your own dreams, no matter what obstacles you may face.

Why We Need More Women in STEM

Women are underrepresented in STEM fields. This is a problem for several reasons.

It means that we are missing out on the talents and contributions of half the population.
It creates a gender gap in leadership, which can lead to less diverse and less innovative workplaces.
It sends the message to girls that STEM is not for them, which can discourage them from pursuing careers in these fields.

We need to change this. We need to encourage more girls and women to pursue careers in STEM. This book is a step in that direction. It is a celebration of the women who have made significant contributions to STEM and a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
