Women have been told throughout history that science isn't for them. They've been told they're not intelligent enough or that their minds can't process it. In this book, Chelsea Clinton introduces readers to female scientists who overcame obstacles and used their intelligence, skills, and perseverance to discover, invent, create, and provide explanations. Everyone who has ever had questions about the world they live in or how things work and who is persistent in seeking out their answers should read She Persisted in Science. This book demonstrates to readers that everyone has the power to influence the world and that women in science have a positive impact on society through engaging artwork by Alexandra Boiger.
