Stolen science : thirteen untold stories of scientists and inventors almost written out of history / Ella Schwartz ; illustrated by Gaby D'Alessandro. - 122 pages : color illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 111-115).
Mary Anning -- Jo Anderson -- Antonio Meucci -- Benjamin Bradley -- Carlos Juan Finlay -- Anna Wessels Williams -- Nettie Stevens -- Lise Meitner -- Alice Ball -- Hilde Mangold -- Chien-Shiung Wu -- Marie Tharp -- Rosalind Franklin.
"Over the centuries, women, people from underrepresented communities, and immigrants overcame prejudices and social obstacles to make remarkable discoveries in science-but they weren't the ones to receive credit in history books. People with more power, money, and prestige were remembered as the inventor of the telephone, the scientists who decoded the structure of DNA, and the doctor who discovered the cause of yellow fever. This book aims to set the record straight and celebrate the nearly forgotten inventors and scientists who shaped our world today. " -- Publisher.
