Omtale

This brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science.

Did you know that the technology behind cell phones was based on an idea developed during World War II by the Hollywood star Heddy Lamar to prevent the enemy intercepting radio messages? The computer and other electronic devices have changed life dramatically over the last 70 years-and many of the key breakthroughs in technology were made by women. These women's achievements were often highly specialized and have been widely overlooked. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

From studying the stars to curing disease, understanding plants and animals, pioneering computer studies, and unraveling the secrets of atoms and molecules, women have played a vital role in scientific advances since the ancient world. Yet their contributions have often gone unrecognized or, worse, have been credited to others. With lively text, photography, and art, Super SHEroes of Science sets out to redress the balance and give credit where it's due. It examines the contributions to various fields of science of individual women from around the world!
