Super Women: Six Scientists Who Changed the World by Laurie Lawlor tells of wonderful women that stand out in this world of men and stand out BIG! All the women are amazing in their field but when I was growing up I couldn't get enough of Genie Clark! I would read all about her adventures in kid's books and in magazines. I adored her and her accomplishments and still do. All these women deserve a great deal of respect for all they have done! Thanks NetGalley for sharing this knowledge and great book with me. ( )
