It began: \u0026amp;;She made a mean beef stroganoff, followed her husband from job to job, and took eight years off from work to raise three children.\u0026amp;; It wasn\u0026amp;;t until the second paragraph that readers discovered why the Times had devoted several hundred words to her life: Brill was a brilliant rocket scientist who invented a propulsion system to keep communications satellites in orbit, and had recently been awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. Among the questions the obituary\u0026amp;;and consequent outcry\u0026amp;;prompted were, Who are the role models for today\u0026amp;;s female scientists, and where can we find the stories that cast them in their true light?\n\nHeadstrong delivers a powerful, global, and engaging response. Covering Nobel Prize winners and major innovators, as well as lesser-known but hugely significant scientists who influence our every day, Rachel Swaby\u0026amp;;s vibrant profiles span centuries of courageous thinkers and illustrate how each one\u0026amp;;s ideas developed, from their first moment of scientific engagement through the research and discovery for which they\u0026amp;;re best known. This fascinating tour reveals 52 women at their best\u0026amp;;while encouraging and inspiring a new generation of girls to put on their lab coats.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0553446797\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0553446797.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Swaby, Rachel\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
