Incredible Women Inventors |
| Many of the useful things we have today started as just one idea in
the mind of just one woman. Who are these women? And where to their incredible
ideas come from? |
| Another addition to the
acclaimed Women’s Hall of Fame Series profiles 10 incredible women with an
itch to invent. Written in an accessible, engaging and informative style,
Incredible Women Inventors examines both the challenges and successes in
the lives of Canadian and international problem-solvers. From Madam C.J.
Walker, America’s first Black female millionaire, to Hedy Lamarr, creator
of a code-deciphering system, young readers will have much to motivate them
after reading, both in science and in life. From the technology used in
cellphones to drugs developed to save cancer patients, women have invented a
wide range of useful things. With hard work and determination, the women in
this book triumphed to win Nobel Prizes, public acclaim, even an
Inventor’s Oscar! |
