Brave women from diverse backgrounds make the world a better place through their businesses in this inspiring companion to the best-selling Girls Think of Everything by Sibert-winner Catherine Thimmesh and Caldecott Honor winner Melissa Sweet. For fans of Women Who Dared and Women in Science.
Women all over the globe are asking questions that affect lives and creating businesses that answer them. Like, can we keep premature babies warm when they're born far from the hospital? Or, can the elderly stay in their homes and eat a balanced diet? Women are taking on and solving these issues with their ingenuity and business acumen.
How did they get their ideas? Where does the funding for their projects come from? And how have some of these businesses touched YOUR life? Girls Solve Everything answers these questions, inspiring today's kids to learn from entrepreneurs and take on some of the world's biggest problems, one solution at a time.
This inspirational book for girls shows you how:
- Women in STEM: See how innovators used technology to create an app that delivers healthcare to remote villages and a pay-as-you-go system for affordable solar power.
- Social Entrepreneurs: Discover the true stories behind world-changing organizations like Teach For America, Dress for Success, and the Green Belt Movement.
- Problem-Solving in Action: Learn how creative ideas--from a special sleeping bag for premature babies to a food-rescue app--tackled enormous global issues.
- Inspiring Role Models: Meet dozens of brave women who prove that with curiosity and determination, anyone can make a difference in their community.
