Philip has compiled bios for 101 women who have influenced a number of science fields, from medicine to astronomy to math. These women come from all different countries and backgrounds. Do any of these women remind you of yourself or of who you want to be?

I feel like a lot of books about the amazing women of history have been published recently, and I was surprised to find that many of the women introduced by Philip were still unfamiliar to me. While this compilation is not as engaging as others I have read, I love that the women are organized chronologically because I was able to see the big picture of progression through the years. These women were able to build off the research of those who came before, and readers are encouraged to build off the knowledge of these women in turn.
