Thank you to Random House Children's and NetGalley for the eARC!

I absolutely loved this! I'm a big fan of biography collections in general, and this one really shined. I love the inclusion of extra tidbits for readers, whether it's a science experiment or the history of cryptology! The book is also chock full of illustrations, photographs, and more. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different Lost Women of Science (as well as a variety of other interesting related topics), and I can't wait to add the final product to my library's collection! 4.5 Stars

I’ve always had a passion for science - as a kid I loved our Ortho Bug Book (my mom recalls the hours I used to spend looking through it) and anything to do with the ocean and its creatures. So many women made incredible scientific discoveries, but as a young girl I never knew their names because their accomplishments often went unrecognized. So to say I am grateful that girls today are able to pick up a book like #thelostwomenofscience by Melina Gerosa Bellows and Katie Hafner is an understatement. Thank you to @netgalley for sharing this wonderful book with me! I will definitely be adding it to my classroom shelves when it’s published!
