Ella persistió en la ciencia

Mujeres brillantes que marcaron la diferencia

Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger
Look inside
A STEM-focused addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling She Persisted series! Now available in Spanish!

A lo largo de la historia, a las mujeres les han dicho que la ciencia no es para ellas porque no son suficientemente inteligentes, o porque sus cerebros simplemente no son capaces de ese tipo de estudio.
 
En este libro, Chelsea Clinton nos presenta a varias mujeres científicas que no prestaron atención a los que les dijeron que no y optaron por utilizar su ingenio, sus habilidades y su persistencia para descubrir, inventar, crear y explicar.
 
Ella persistió en la ciencia es un libro para todos aquéllos que se han hecho preguntas sobre el mundo que los rodea o sobre cómo funcionan las cosas, y que se niegan a darse por vencidos hasta hallar las respuestas. Las expresivas ilustraciones de Alexandra Boiger que acompañan este inspirador texto muestran a los lectores que todos tenemos el potencial de marcar la diferencia y que las mujeres científicas cambian el mundo.
