Ahead of their time

Ahead Of Their Time ere are women of science whose accomplishments were overwritten by men despite the fact that they were not only (more) qualified, but also ahead of their time. The pointed mini biographies are peppered with illustrations and photographs that bring each one of them to life. Excellent! The illustrations by Karyn Lee are primarily clear drawings that represent people and things before inexpensive photography. Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age, including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, waiting room, or your local public library! I requested and received a temporary uncorrected advance proof for review purposes on Thorium PDF from Random House Children's | Bright Matter Books via NetGalley.
