This book, written in novel-in-verse, is the story of seven remarkable women who overcame obstacles to study and excel in the fields of math and science. The inspirational women were integral in making significant advancements in their fields of study that are typically considered male dominated fields. One of the women featured in the book is Katherine Johnson, the African American woman who fought against racism and segregation to become one of the most important figures in NASA and literally calculated by hand the formulas for the trajectory to the moon that enabled the historic Apollo moon landing. This book would be great for a math or science classroom to show students, especially young girls, that math and science is not just for boys and that they can feel empowered by the ones who have paved the road for them to follow, or better yet to find new roads and discoveries of their own.

This book tells of seven women who overcame the odds and made discoveries and history. By using poetry, the stories convey a well-informative and creative message for young girls. I recommend for any STEM educators who want to encourage young girls the importance of patience and challenges in a male-dominated field. ( )
