It is scientifically proven: women are stars! In Women in Science, a knowledge book with beautiful illustrations, the portraits of fifty important women who contributed significantly to the fields of natural sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) from ancient times to the present day are presented.

Filled with stunning and original images, this captivating collection also includes information on related topics, such as laboratory instruments and the percentage of women currently working in STEM fields, and is complemented by an illustrated glossary of scientific terms.

Among the pioneering women featured in the pages of the book are well-known figures in science, such as primatologist Jane Goodall, as well as lesser-known individuals like Katherine Johnson, the African American physicist and mathematician who calculated the trajectory of the Apollo 11 spacecraft that reached the Moon in 1969.
