I loved this book. The strongest parts of the book are Dr. Ghose’s anecdotes and personal stories, the great biographies, and the outstanding explanations of the science, some through the use of brilliant analogies. The book is written in a conversational, heartfelt tone, which made the book a pleasure to read. The photos are also excellent. I think the book provided an excellent look at the obstacles women in science faced and continue to face, and this is where Dr. Ghose’s personal stories bring the message home. Overall, the book is a great read and I recommend it for everyone interested in the history of science. Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada for the digital review copy.
