One of the most famous women of the twentieth century, Marie Curie was a trailblazer in the truest sense. Known for her discovery of two radioactive elements, radium and polonium, Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She remains the only woman to win two Nobel Prizes in different sciences.

Inside you will read about...

✓ Early Life and Loss
✓ The Flying University
✓ Nobel Prizes
✓ Scandals
✓ Curie’s First World War Efforts
✓ The Discovery that Killed Her
And much more!

Marie Curie lived by her own rules in a society marred by misogyny and xenophobia. A scientist, but also a loving wife and mother, she defied expectations as a matter of course. Curie also fought for her country during the First World War the best way she knew how—with science. There is much more to Marie Curie’s story than the discovery of the radioactive elements that eventually killed her.

Amelia Earhart: A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Women in History) (July 29, 2019)

Discover the remarkable life of Amelia Earhart...

Free BONUS Inside!

Amelia Earhart was a legend—but perhaps an unlikely one at that. You see, Amelia Earhart was not always the dashing heroine that most of us associate with her name. She began life as a rather shy girl, who often found herself having to hide from her troubled upbringing. As her family life spiraled out of control, Amelia Earhart was forced to move from state to state, town to town, never getting the chance to put down roots. The high school she graduated from was one of many she attended, and a caption by her photo for that semester’s yearbook seems to have said it all. It read, “the girl in brown who walks alone.” But even as her peers scoffed at the girl in brown slacks who walked a lonely path, Amelia Earhart was charting a course for a tremendous destiny.

In this book, we will follow all of the hurdles that this heroine surmounted in order to become one of the most famous pilots of all time.

Discover a plethora of topics such as

A Turbulent Childhood
First Transatlantic Flight
Earhart in the White House
Amelia Earhart's Disappearance

Helen Keller

What was Helen Keller’s legacy to the world? Was it the impressive list of firsts that she accomplished as a deafblind person? Was it the assistance that she gave to the cause of the handicapped? Was it her numerous writings, her forgotten ideals, her inspirational quotations? Or was it simply her story?

Inside you will read about...

✓ Growing up Deaf and Blind at Ivy Green
✓ Learning to Speak
✓ Earning Her Bachelor’s Degree
✓ Relentless Work and Radical Socialism
✓ Keller’s Secret Engagement
✓ Late Life and Death
And much more!

Perhaps the only way to measure the gift of Helen Keller would be to discover just how her life has touched the lives of the presidents, inventors, poets, and other famous people of her day down to the countless school urchins who have heard the tale of the little girl that could not see or hear. Helen Keller meant something to them all.

Ada Lovelace: A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Women in History) (October 16, 2019)

4.2 342 4.0 on Goodreads 244 ratings

Discover the remarkable life of Ada Lovelace...

Free BONUS Inside!

As the sole legitimate child of Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was the progeny of literary royalty. Many might have naturally expected her to go into the field of her father, but instead of delving into poetry, she delved into the hard sciences of mathematics and analytic thinking. Even so, Ada still had the imagination of a lyricist when writing scientific treatises, at times referring to her own work as nothing short of “poetical science.” Everything she did, she did with passion and dogged determination. It was this drive that led Ada to look farther and search deeper than her contemporaries. Her unique vision led her to become one of the pioneers of the modern computer and one of the world’s first computer programmers.

But what exactly do we know about Ada Lovelace, and how can it be quantified? Read this book to find out more about the nineteenth-century mathematician and writer Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace.

Discover a plethora of topics such as

The Daughter of Lord and Lady Byron
Early Years of Paralysis
The World’s First Computer Programmer
Rumors and Laudanum Addiction
A Grim Prognosis
Last Days and Death
And much more!

Rosalind Franklin was what can only be called an overlooked genius. Although she was not fully credited for the feat at the time, her work led to major breakthroughs in our understanding of DNA. In fact, she took the first X-ray photo of DNA in all of its double helix glory. By the time her former colleagues were being showered with accolades for results they made at least partially based on her findings, Franklin would not be around to see it. Sadly, it’s believed that her use of X-ray equipment gave her terminal cancer, cutting her life short at age 37.

Margaret Thatcher, famously known as the “Iron Lady” due to her tough-as-nails personality, was not only Britain’s first female prime minister but one of the most influential political leaders of the twentieth century. She commanded the spotlight at a crucial moment in both British and world history. Although she had her problems along the way—dealing with the Cold War, incursions at the Falkland Islands, and attacks by the IRA, at one point almost losing her life in the process—she rose to the occasion.

Shirley Chisholm was a force to be reckoned with. Emerging from the humble beginnings of a working-class family in Brooklyn, New York, she carved a path that few dared to tread. With her family barely scraping by, Chisholm witnessed first-hand the trials of living paycheck to paycheck and facing adversity at every turn.

As a congresswoman, she was known for her advocacy on issues including civil rights, women’s rights, and poverty, as well as her opposition to the Vietnam War. Her journey didn’t stop there; she shattered societal norms by announcing her candidacy for the US presidency in the 1972 election. Though she did not secure her party’s nomination, her campaign was nothing short of revolutionary. Shirley Chisholm made history, not just as the first black woman to run for president in the United States but as a symbol of what it means to fight for one’s beliefs, regardless of the obstacles.
