From Ada Lovelace to Florence Nightingale, Rosalind Franklin to Tu Youyou - discover the women who changed science forever

Imagine a scientist. White lab coat and goggles... check! A passing resemblance to Albert Einstein... yes, that too. So, most likely it's a man. However, from radiation to climate change, pulsars to the Earth's core - women have always stood at the forefront of scientific discovery.

Learn how Ada Lovelace's tumultuous upbringing created the first computer programmer. Join Marie Curie as she discovers two elements and earns two Nobel prizes, all before the age of forty-five. Learn how Katherine Johnson launched the first American into space - defiant in the face of institutional racism.

A timely addition to the growing global conversation around the future of science - and who gets to shape it - A History of Science in 21 Women is a paradigm-shifting exploration of the scientists who history tried, and failed, to brush under the carpet, and why their stories still matter today.
