Join us for our March Book Club.

In honor of Women's History Month, we have selected a book celebrating Women in Science. The book we will be discussing will be:

10 Women Who Changed Science and the World: Marie Curie, Rita Levi-Montalcini, Chien-Shiung Wu, Virginia Apgar, and More (Trailblazers, Pioneers, and Revolutionaries)

by Rhodri Evans and Catherine Whitlock

“A lively, readable account of the lives and work of 10 groundbreaking female scientists…The authors neatly summarize their subjects' lives from cradle to grave and delve into their work and its importance, explaining the details clearly without oversimplifying them…They provide 10 memorable portraits that may contain even a few surprises for scholars of these important pioneers. A solid introduction for those who know little about the long-term impact of women in science." ―Kirkus Review

“Every woman featured in the pages of Ten Women Who Changed Science and the World should be a household name…These biographies highlight not only the creative struggles these women endured, but the cultural and systemic ones as well.”―Tulsa Book Review
