Magnificent Minds: 16 Pioneering Women in Science and Medicine Paperback – September 1, 2016

Used for a class

Pendred Noyce has created a very inviting look into the historical world of women in science. Each woman contributed to her field against the greatest of odds. The paths that had to be single handedly forged by these pioneers was no small feat. As interesting a narrative as it is for the development of science I found it even more compelling as a voice for women's role in society. It paints a very clear picture of the systemic bias that is still evidenced in institutional sexism today.The is a must read foundation book for young men and women to begin to understand our society today. Great job, Pendred Noyce.

Excellent reading about some amazing women. Ideal for anyone in STEM, those dreaming of being doctors, scientists and anyone interested in learning about these female pioneers. Well written and engaging.

I appreciated the emphasis on studious preparation for work, how to obtain a mentor, traits to seek in a spouse who would be supportive.

Good introduction to these top women of science.It is a perfect gift for a young girl who many be thinking about her career choices.

i'm not sure how a very bright physicist is using this for our class. i don't like it !!!

Young lady interested in science really appreciated receiving a book about women in science.

Got this for my scientist niece. Should be inspiring
