Description
The gripping true stories of fifty extraordinary women-from scientists and spies to athletes and artists-whose bold decisions reshaped history and continue to inspire teens today.
In Genius: 50 Women Who Changed the World, F.R. Brady offers a lively and inspiring collection of the stories of women who reshaped science, politics, art, sports, civil rights, and more. From the woman who helped invent Wi-Fi to the mother of Barbie, to spies, survivors, and entrepreneurs, these are tales of strategy, strength, and smarts.
Packed with historical images and little-known narratives, each chapter of Genius focuses on a decisive moment-when a woman faced the odds, made a bold choice, and changed what was possible for those who followed. Readers will follow spy Virginia Hall through the Pyrenees as she escapes the Nazis, writer Mary Wollstonecraft on her journey to becoming one of the founding feminist philosophers, and mathematician Katherine Johnson as her calculations send astronauts to space.
With a mix of well-known names and unsung heroes, Genius celebrates the clever, the cunning, and the unstoppable. It redefines what it means to be brilliant, and shows teen readers that the world changes when someone dares to act.
