Synopsis:
In her latest book, Magdolna Hargittai tells the stories of over 120 women in science who overcame social prejudice and other barriers to excel in their careers. Hargittai presents entertaining and engaging accounts of the lives and careers of women scientists in disciplines such as physics, astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. These women include historical figures, such as Lady Margaret Cavendish, a natural philosopher who lived in the 1600s, as well as modern-day scientists, such as COVID-19 vaccine pioneer Katalin Karikó.
