Women in Science highlights the contributions of fifty notable women to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) from the ancient to the modern world. Full of striking, singular art, this collection also contains infographics about relevant topics such as lab equipment, rates of women currently working in STEM fields, and an illustrated scientific glossary. The women profiled include well-known figures like primatologist Jane Goodall, as well as lesser-known pioneers such as Katherine Johnson, the African-American physicist and mathematician who calculated the trajectory of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission to the moon.

Women in Sports highlights notable women's contributions to competitive athletics to inspire readers young and old. Keeping girls interested in sports has never been more important: research suggests that girls who play sports get better grades and have higher self-esteem--but girls are six times more likely to quit playing sports than boys and are unlikely to see female athlete role models in the media. A fascinating collection full of striking, singular art, Women in Sports features 50 profiles and illustrated portraits of women athletes from the 1800s to today including trailblazers, Olympians, and record-breakers in more than 40 different sports. The book also contains infographics about relevant topics such as muscle anatomy, a timeline of women's participation in sports, statistics about women in athletics, and influential female teams.

MY REVIEWS
What's Inside a Flower? is a fun, educational book that goes into lots of detail about how flowers come about. The book explains what a flower is, the parts of a flower, and gives information about pollination and photosynthesis. It also describes different flowers, and there are loads of fun illustrations to go along with the info. It's delightful, and even young readers who may not be big fans of science will find it to be pretty cool. I know I did. The only drawback for me was it did feel a little repetitive in spots, but that could just be me.
4 stars!
Women in Science is a fascinating look at 50 different women who have made huge strides in different fields of science. From geology to biology, and everything in between, it's an educational book that will enlighten young readers about these brave women who fought against "the norm" to bring their ideas into the world and potentially be recognized for them as well. A truly inspiring book that I really enjoyed.
5 stars!
Women in Sports is similar to Women in Science, where it showcases 50 different women who have made a difference for all women athletes. From baseball to golf, to gymnastics and swimming, there's a woman featured who has done something amazing, making it easier for other female athletes to compete in their chosen sport. These women persevered to make female athletes normal during a time when only men could compete. Another delightful, educational, and inspiring read.
5 stars!
