Description: Do you know a girl who would rather stare into a tidal pool for hours than go to ballet class? Girls who appreciate animals and the natural world will surely enjoy this book, which chronicles the lives of six famous and influential female scientists. However, the message underlying these stories of determined and capable women has less to do with becoming a scientist and more to do with following one's dreams, no matter the challenges.
