Women have been responsible for many of the world' s most groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Kate Pankhurst, descendent of Emmeline Pankhurst, tells the stories of some incredible female scientists whose hard work and persistence changed our understanding of science, and transformed people' s ideas of what women can do. As a child Mae Jemison imagined herself reaching for the stars and that' s exactly what she did: she became the first African-American woman to go into space. When Elizabeth Blackwell was told women weren' t allowed to be doctors, she didn' t take no for an answer. Tu Youyou spent months on a remote island during the Vietnam War to try and invent a treatment for malaria - and she did it. Including comic strips, family trees, maps and more, Fantastically Great Women Scientists and their Stories is a celebration of women who made some of the world' s most important scientific breakthroughs. Women featured: Mae Jemison, Marie Curie, Elizabeth Blackwell, Janaki Ammal, Caroline Herschel, Katia Krafft, Tu Youyou and Rosalind Franklin.
. . . the third in Kate Pankhurst' s colourful picture-book celebrations of notable females; with their playful use of speech bubbles and perspective shifts, they remain significantly more engaging and inspiring than the rival Rebel Girls. -- Imogen Russell Williams on Fantastically Great Women Who Worked Wonders * The Guardian * It' s a tremendously engaging read: smart, informative, inclusive and accessible, with gorgeous, visually creative art. -- Fiona Noble on Fantastically Great Women Who Made History * The Bookseller * This one succeeds, thanks to its interesting choice of role models, gorgeous colourful illustrations, a sense of humour and sharp language that informs without patronising * The Times on Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World * Every element of this book is pieced together perfectly; the amount of information, the fun way it is presented, the illustrations and of course the diverse mix of women. This book should be available in every school and every library and is sure to inspire young people to follow their hearts * Acorn Books on Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World * An absolute must-have for every young person' s bookshelf * The Huffington Post on Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World *
Kate Pankhurst illustrates and writes from her studio in Leeds with her spotty dog, Olive. She loves a good story and gets her best ideas by doodling in her sketchbook; she feels very lucky to now do this as her job.
