This volume looks at the many contributions women have made in various scientific fields both in the past and the present. These women have changed the course of various scientific fields-astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, medicine, and everything in between. Through the articles presented in this title, readers will gain a better understanding of the essential role women have played in science throughout history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 2 $a Grades 10-12 $b Scientific American Educational Publishing. 710 2 $a Scientific American, inc., $e editor. 830 0 $a Scientific American explores big ideas. 941 $a 1 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240604011511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CA4B9B04223711EFB457909958ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
