This book is perfect for using (as I would be) in the classroom library! I loved how there are 10 women who made incredible discoveries in the fields of science, who tend to be overlooked by their fellow scientists, who are male. The opportunity for hands on learning with at home projects is awesome, and would be so fun to do at home!

If you love science (or have a science loving/curious child) then this is the book for you. Bellows covers ten women who made incredible/life-changing scientific discoveries that occasionally get forgotten in a male dominated field. Within the stories of these women are at-home projects where kids can see what these women discovered for themselves.

Thank you to Random House Children's and NetGalley for the eARC!

I absolutely loved this! I'm a big fan of biography collections in general, and this one really shined. I love the inclusion of extra tidbits for readers, whether it's a science experiment or the history of cryptology! The book is also chock full of illustrations, photographs, and more. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different Lost Women of Science (as well as a variety of other interesting related topics), and I can't wait to add the final product to my library's collection! 4.5 Stars

I’ve always had a passion for science - as a kid I loved our Ortho Bug Book (my mom recalls the hours I used to spend looking through it) and anything to do with the ocean and its creatures. So many women made incredible scientific discoveries, but as a young girl I never knew their names because their accomplishments often went unrecognized. So to say I am grateful that girls today are able to pick up a book like #thelostwomenofscience by Melina Gerosa Bellows and Katie Hafner is an understatement. Thank you to @netgalley for sharing this wonderful book with me! I will definitely be adding it to my classroom shelves when it’s published!
