True stories of women who inspire, defy the impossible, and transform the world through science.

Mothers of Science is a moving and inspiring collection about pioneering women who left their mark on the history of humanity. From Marie Curie (the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize) to Mae Jemison (the first Black woman to go into space), and many other brilliant scientists, this book highlights the achievements, challenges, and legacy of true Women of Science.

For centuries, scientific knowledge was told through a male-centered lens. However, progress in fields like Medicine, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics carries the essential contributions of women who broke barriers and fought for gender equality. These are pioneers who, with courage, perseverance, and intelligence, helped build the foundations of modern science.

Written from the experience of Leandro Luiz, a scientist who has been a student, colleague, and mentor to many great women, the book is also a personal account of feminine inspiration and recognition—a tribute to those who shaped not only knowledge but also the spirit of discovery.

If you're looking for a book about inspiring women, powerful biographies, or want to discover the strength of science made by women, Mothers of Science is a must-read.
