Forty-eight women who defied convention, disregarded roadblocks, and ignored gender bias to follow their passions are celebrated in this rich collection that chronicles the achievements of women in science from 2640 BC to the present. Contributing important, often groundbreaking discoveries to the natural and social sciences, they were geologists, physicists, inventors, engineers, medical researchers, anthropologists, biologists, and more. Collectively attaining many firsts—first to capture a clear picture of DNA, first person to win two Nobel prizes, first female university professor—they received many national and international awards for their work. This third deck in the “Who Was She?” series will enrich your scientific knowledge and perhaps move you to explore new worlds. Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information—all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards. Forty-eight 3 1/4 x 4" cards. Text by Aimee Hess.
