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
