Inventors and scientists
Alternate title:
Women who made history. Inventors and scientists
Summary:
"Women have always made great contributions to science, and some of the greatest inventors in history were women, but for far too long many of these individuals weren't recognized for their accomplishments. For example, even today, many people don't know it was a woman, English mathematician Ada Lovelace, who wrote the first computer program. Readers of this accessible volume will learn about Lovelace and many other inspiring women who changed the course of history through their inventions and contributions to science."-- Publisher.
