Summary
A STEM-focused addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling She Persisted series！
Throughout history， women have been told that science isn't for them。 They've been told that they're not smart enough， or that their brains just aren't able to handle it。 In this book， Chelsea Clinton introduces readers to women scientists who didn't listen to those who told them "no" and who used their smarts， their skills and their persistence to discover， invent， create and explain。
She Persisted in Science is for everyone who's ever had questions about the world around them or the way things work， and who won't give up until they find their answers。
With engaging artwork by Alexandra Boiger accompanying the inspiring text， this is a book that shows readers that everyone has the potential to make a difference， and that women in science change our world。
This book features: Florence Nightingale， Rebecca Lee Crumpler， Ynes Enriquetta Julietta Mexia， Grace Hopper， Rosalind Franklin， Gladys West， Jane Goodall， Flossie Wong-Staal， Temple Grandin， Zaha Hadid， Ellen Ochoa， Dr。 Mona Hanna-Attisha & Mari Copeny， and Autumn Peltier， Greta Thunberg & Wanjiru Wathuti

I think this one was a bit clunkier than the others in the series。 Several pages had multiple people， which is fine I guess， but the one had three people and their contributions were somewhat glossed over （plus their mention in the text did not follow their order in the illustration， which bother me）。 I also noticed that it was pretty Covid-19 heavy， which I get is on our minds right now but I dont think will age well。 And my finally dislike is the misattribution of the term "bug" in code to Gra I think this one was a bit clunkier than the others in the series。 Several pages had multiple people， which is fine I guess， but the one had three people and their contributions were somewhat glossed over （plus their mention in the text did not follow their order in the illustration， which bother me）。 I also noticed that it was pretty Covid-19 heavy， which I get is on our minds right now but I dont think will age well。 And my finally dislike is the misattribution of the term "bug" in code to Grace Hopper， a fact I learned in Machines That Think！: Big Ideas That Changed the World #2。 I get that it's a common misattribution but the fact that it wasn't researched seems lazy to me。I did like the message and encouragement and learning about some women I didn't know much about so I will still purchase for me school library。 It just wasn't my favorite of the series。 。。。more

I received an electronic ARC from Philomel Books through Edelweiss+。Another well done volume in the She Persisted series。 This book focuses on women who overcame tremendous odds in the sciences。 Readers meet women from various points in history who believed in themselves and inspire them to seek out their own dreams。 The illustrations provide a snapshot of each person's contributions to their field。 Clinton captures each with succinct language that elementary level readers will comprehend。 I received an electronic ARC from Philomel Books through Edelweiss+。Another well done volume in the She Persisted series。 This book focuses on women who overcame tremendous odds in the sciences。 Readers meet women from various points in history who believed in themselves and inspire them to seek out their own dreams。 The illustrations provide a snapshot of each person's contributions to their field。 Clinton captures each with succinct language that elementary level readers will comprehend。 。。。more
