Reviewed for VPRC. Great book looking at 15 women in history who invented or discovered something extraordinary that changed the lives of people across the world. From turning plastic into fuel to inventing Scotchguard to protect fabric, this is a fascinating look at how these women saw a need for something to plug a gap and they persevered until they found a solution to fill the hole!
Short paragraphs with brightly coloured quotes and illustrations. ( )

This book is a great read that talks about the ingenious inventions made by women including cancer-fighting drugs, space helmets, coffeemaker filters, disposable diapers, games, toys, computer programs, and many more. This book provides a great representation towards younger girls as it represents women in STEM and a great diverse group of women from all over the world. This book seems to be correlated towards middle grade students, specifically middle grade girls, as it serves as a representation towards women young girls can be inspired by or look up to. It also seems to be divided among chapters as it focuses on certain challenging problems that inspire women to create ingenious solutions. The book starts off with physician, Dr. Virginia Apgar, who developed the Newborn Scoring System which determines and measures 5 aspects of a baby’s health such as color, pulse, reflex, respiration, and activity. Because of her innovation, hundreds of babies’ lives are saved till this day. I really like the representation and inspiration that this book provides towards younger girls as it gives them hope that they aspire to be women who also create solutions. This book can be correlated towards science as it provides inventions correlated to the scientific method, it can be correlated to history due to the historical impact that women had on history, and it can be correlated to math towards critical thinking skills.

This book was pretty sweet! The book showcases the great diversity of women inventors. Each chapter in the book focuses on a problem that needs fixing and the mids of the brilliant women who fixed them. There is an older version of this book which is great too, but this one offered even more diversity with more women of color and women from different parts of the world. It would be great for math to encourage critical thinking skills that are needed to solve problems. Great for science and experimenting to find idea that work, great for History to learn about women who have changed the world.

I love this book because it captures the great minds of women who are incredibly creative. We need more people like in this world, and not only women. ( )

This book was about women in history who invented things.

This book offers 12 brief partial biographies of women that invented something. The most interesting story to me was the story of the 'accidental' invention of the Tollhouse Chocolate Chip cookie by Ruth Wakefield in 1930 while baking at her Toll House Inn. It's probably because I love chocolate chip cookies. Another interesting story is about how Bette Nesmith Graham invented Liquid Paper so she wouldn't have to retype a letter because she made a mistake.
