New York Times Best Seller

"Chances are you've heard of Jane Goodall and Marie Curie. But what about other female titans of the science world? . . . .In this wittily illustrated, accessible volume, Rachel Ignotofsky highlights 50 women who changed the course of science."
- Wall Street Journal

"With short, inspiring stories and the accessibility of a graphic novel, Women in Science-50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed The World (Ten Speed Press) is the perfect book to share with the science- and tech-minded people (male and female, young and old) in your life. . . .The must-read, girl-power STEM book."
- InStyle.com

"This book of illustrated biographies of scientific pioneers is hands-down gorgeous. Rachel Ignotofsky's bright, bold drawings light up the short stories about the life and work of women ranging from Wang Zhenyi (a 16th century Chinese astronomy) to Mae Jemison (an American astronaut and educator). Kids will love paging through this, looking at all the detailed drawings, but they'll likely have to rip it out of the hands of the adults who are marveling at each new page of factoids."
- Sarah Mirk, Bitch Media

"The book is a beautifully curated collection of personal narratives from female scientists from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines, with a dash of whimsy thrown in."
- Upworthy

"I applaud Ignotofsky and her publisher for telling these important stories about women through such a rich, visual medium. The world needs more books like this."
- ScientificAmerican.com's Symbiartic

". . .an illustrated homage to some of the most influential and inspiring women in STEM. . . .Ignotofsky captures the heartbreaking inequalities that only amplify the impressiveness of these women's feats."
- Maria Popova, BrainPickings.org

". . .a clever introduction to women scientists through history."
- Science Friday

"True fact: This book is so cool that I had to go steal it back from my fifth grade daughter to review it. . . .this book perfectly balances well-researched facts with gorgeous, whimsical illustrations making it a favorite you just can't put down."
- Cool Mom Picks

Advance praise for Women in Science:

"If there were constellations celebrating the incredible accomplishments of women in science, Rachel Ignotofsky's illustrations would serve as the blueprints. As Ignotofsky floats NASA computer programmer and mathematician Annie Easley amid rockets and stars, surrounds Higgs boson discoverer Sau Lan Wu with particles, and cradles Barbara McClintock with corn and chromosomes, she anchors her dreamy depictions into our brains. Women in Science captures the joy of so many essential discoveries while also celebrating the extraordinary lives of the women who've achieved them."
- Rachel Swaby, author of Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science-and the World

"I wish I had a daughter so I could give her a copy of Rachel Ignotofsky's lovingly illustrated Women in Science . In addition to Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, and Ada Lovelace, the book profiles dozens of less familiar female scientists-African American, Asian, Jewish, Russian, French, in stylish dresses, lab coats, trousers, spacesuits, shorts-whose accomplishments in astronomy, physics, mathematics, biology, psychology, and computer science came as news even to me. Ignotofsky provides young women with the courage and confidence to follow the exciting paths these pioneers have blazed before them."
- Eileen Pollack, author of The Only Woman in the Room: Why Science Is Still a Boys' Club

" Women in Science is a comprehensive and stunningly illustrated tribute to brilliant female minds. Through real stories of perseverance and passion, Rachel Ignotofsky affirms the important role of women in shaping humankind's scientific journey. The book offers the next generation of young women a diverse set of relatable and enormously inspiring role models."
- Lisa Congdon, illustrator and author
