Go Women Inventors!,
This review is from: Women Invent!: Two Centuries of Discoveries That Have Shaped Our World (Paperback)
I bought this book for my daughters, because I like them to read about strong women. However, I ended up reading Women Invent! myself and enjoyed it very much! My daughters also enjoyed the book and it has gotten the both of them interested in inventing things themselves. This would be an excellent book to give to any young girls and it's one that teachers ought to use frequently. A very good book!

Wow! By Zane Welte,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Women Invent!: Two Centuries of Discoveries That Have Shaped Our World (Paperback)
This book "Women Invent!" was one of the best books I have read. I'm an avid reader of any book I can get my hands on but this book was exceptional. It is factual yet very interesting. It is written very well and keeps your attention focused. As soon as I read it I felt like going out and inventing something on my own.

A Great Book about Women Inventors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Women Invent!: Two Centuries of Discoveries That Have Shaped Our World (Paperback)
Women Invent! is a cool book and there should be more like it. Women often don't get the credit they deserve & people think that we men invented everything. Read Women Invent! and you'll learn otherwise. A fun read and highly informative. I'd recommend this book to all teachers and parents.
