This book is an excellent source of information about the contribution women have made to our society. As a Middle School science teacher, I find that most of my students assume that inventions are made by only men. They are amazed to learn that women have invented many things, and many of the things we use on a daily basis. I use this book so much that my copy needs to be replaced.

This book is an inspiration to anyone. A kick in the butt to women who are surrounded by un-empower-ers and naysayers who are determined to convince you how stupid your ideas are. The book tells you it's ok to have ideas and it's ok to have to try a few times to get the wing nuts tight. I recommend this book as a guide to anyone who wants to step out of the comfort zone and change the world!!! I credit Ethlie Ann Vare with giving me the inspiration to make music, write scripts and books and patent cameras and re create myself as a cyber rock star at 60 years old! I encourage anyone who has stepped out and accomplished something extraordinary to make sure Ethlie Ann Vare hears about it!

And you walk the talk!

This book really helped me with a history term paper. It has very conprehensive information about women inventors who have been forgotten. I was amazed to see how far back it went with it's women inventors. A very useful and interesting book. I would reccomend it highly for both research and pleasure.
