Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and Trailblazers Who Changed History by Sam Maggs
2.0
I really wanted to love this book. I love biographies, STEM, and badass women in history. Unfortunately, the voice of the author got in the way of my enjoyment of the book.
There were lots of asides and snide remarks (in parentheses) that I found so annoying that my brain started skipping anything in brackets. It reads like it will be out of date within five years from the casual language and terms used. It would be really fascinating and fun to talk to the author in-person about the badass women at a party this way, but way less fun to read.
