Requests:  0 Summary:  Ten Women Who Changed Science tells the moving stories of the physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions, and outlines their remarkable achievements. These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women their science and their lives were driven by personal tragedies and shaped by seismic world events. What drove these remarkable women to cure previously incurable diseases, disprove existing theories or discover new sources of energy? Some were rewarded with the Nobel Prize for their pioneering achievements - Madame Curie, twice - others were not and, even if they had, many are not household names. Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these women, in a variety of ways, has made the world a better place.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 509.252 Wh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.252 Wh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.252 Wh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.252 Wh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.252 Wh Checked In Add Copy to MyList
