Recovering women’s stories from the history of science

This collection brings together the lives and work of ten women scientists whose contributions have received little attention in history books. The examples span experiments, disease research and codebreaking connected with world wars, showing several ways women shaped scientific and historical developments. Sketches, photographs and biographical accounts give the book a varied presentation, while its focus on individual lives keeps the subject grounded in people as well as discoveries. Adapted from the Lost Women of Science podcast, it offers an introduction to overlooked figures in STEM and the contexts in which they worked.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in biographies of scientists
  • Young readers curious about women’s contributions to STEM
  • Readers interested in science history and codebreaking
