With many of the profiles set against the backdrop of such landmark events as the women's suffrage and civil rights movements and the Industrial Revolution, and with original interviews from a number of current architects and engineers, this book provides inspiration and advice directly to young women by highlighting positive examples of how a strong work ethic, perseverance, and creativity can overcome life's obstacles. Each profile focuses on the strengths, passions, and interests each woman had growing up; where those traits took them; and what they achieved. Sidebars on related topics, source notes, and a bibliography make this an invaluable resource for further study"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Biography 720.9252 Le Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 720.9252 Le   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 720.9252 Le   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 720.9252 Le   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 720.9252 Le   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
