The Lives of Six Pioneering Naturalists
Written by Jeannine Atkins & illustrated by Paula Conner
Portrays the youths and careers of six remarkable women whose curiosity about nature fueled a passion to steadfastly overcome obstacles to careers in traditionally men-only occupations. A wonderful resource for young researchers and biographers, these stories can be a starting point for issues of gender, science, and the environment. Includes chapters about Maria Sibylla Merian (b. 1647), Anna Botsford Comstock (b. 1854), Frances Hamerstrom (b. 1907), Rachel Carson (b. 1907), Miriam Rothschild (b. 1908), and Jane Goodall (b. 1934). 64 pages
