“An inspiring look at women who realized curiosity plus tenacity equals
success.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[A] captivating compendium.” —Publishers Weekly
Discover the histories of twenty incredible female scientists in this
inspiring biography collection from beloved author Martha Freeman and
Google Doodler Katy Wu.
Why do galaxies spin the way they do?
What’s the best kind of house for a Komodo dragon?
Can you cure malaria with medicine made from a plant?
The scientists and mathematicians in Born Curious sought answers to
these and many other fascinating questions. And it’s lucky for us they
did. Without their vision, insight, and hard work, the world would be a
sicker, dirtier, and more dangerous place.
The twenty groundbreaking women—including Rosalind Franklin, Marie
Tharp, Shirley Anne Jackson, and more—came from all kinds of
backgrounds and had all kinds of life experiences. Some grew up rich.
Some grew up poor. Some were always the smartest kid in class. Some
struggled to do well in school. But all had one thing in common: They
were born curious. Are you curious, too? Read on.
