Twelve true stories of real women who changed science - start reading today.

Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer program a hundred years before computers existed. Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes. Jane Goodall walked alone into an African forest and changed how we understand ourselves. 12 Women in Science brings together twelve real-life heroines of discovery in one beautifully illustrated collection - and on Kindle, the whole adventure begins the moment you tap "Buy."

This is narrative nonfiction the way young readers actually want it: not a list of facts, but twelve complete life stories, each written as a real adventure. From counting stars to cracking codes, from the deep ocean to outer space, these pioneering women refused to take "you can't" for an answer.

Inside, your reader will meet:

• Ada Lovelace - the dreamer who imagined computer programming a century early.
• Marie Curie - the only person ever to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences.
• Jane Goodall - the young woman who earned the trust of wild chimpanzees.
• Mae Jemison - doctor, dancer, and the first African American woman in space.
• Tu Youyou - who found a malaria cure hidden in a 1,600-year-old text.
• Sylvia Earle - the ocean explorer the world calls "Her Deepness."
• Hedy Lamarr - the inventor whose idea made WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth possible.
• Grace Hopper - the programmer who taught computers to understand everyday words.
• Katherine Johnson - the NASA mathematician who sent astronauts safely into orbit.
• Rosalind Franklin - whose photograph revealed the secret structure of DNA.
• Elizabeth Blackwell - the first woman in America to become a doctor.
• Chien-Shiung Wu - the brilliant physicist known as the "First Lady of Physics."

Together they span every field of science - computing, physics, chemistry, biology, space, medicine, the ocean, and invention - and they come from around the world, including several celebrated women of color.

What's inside this Kindle edition:

• Twelve narrative chapters - a full, story-style biography for each scientist.
• Illustrations throughout, bringing every pioneer to life.
• Real, inspiring quotes from each woman in her own words.
