About this ebook
“A book that is sure to inspire a new generation of girls in STEM.” —Felicia Day, New York Times-bestselling author of Embrace Your Weird
From saving the oceans to improving the rehabilitation and job prospects of people struggling in prison, these badass female scientists and entrepreneurs are changing the world.
In The Future of Science is Female, award-winning journalist Zara Stone shares the fascinating, complicated stories of how a diverse group of powerful women got started—from the perspective of those still working it out as they go along. Take twenty-two-year-old Dominique Barnes, a female hero of the oceans. She was worried about all the dolphins and whales killed during shrimp farming, so the marine biologist created a tasty, affordable plant-based shrimp alternative. Then there’s Pree Walia, who invented the Nailbot, a portable printer that prints nail art from a cellphone. And those are just two of the sheroes you will discover in The Future of Science is Female.
Learn about the drama, tears, and adventures that everyday women heroes face as they race to fix everything the world has messed up. The Future of Science is Female inspires future female founders of the world to turn their dreams into reality.
“Zara Stone will make you want to grab your lab coat and join the women making scientific her-story!” —Kellie Gerardi, author of Not Necessarily Rocket Science
