Eleven gutsy women who loved science enough to fight for their place in the sun...
This book explores the contribution of these remarkable Indian women -- from cytogeneticist Archana Sharma and botanist Janaki Ammal to mathematician Raman Parimala, physicist Bibha Chowdhuri, chemist Asima Chatterjee and several others.
This book is a celebration of their lives and the wonderful world of science.
"With intelligence and innate artistic talent, young Ilina Singh presents through this book 11 trailblazing Indian women who overcame all odds to achieve success in STEM." -- Eric Falt, Director and UNESCO Representative to Bhutan, India, Maldives and Sri Lanka
The book includes a foreword by Eric Falt from UNESCO's Delhi office.
Ilina Singh is young, curious and believes she can make the world a better place by solving problems big and small. She thinks of herself as an artist who loves science. Or is it the other way around? She used to scribble on all the walls she could reach as a young child. And opened electronic gadgets to “see what's inside”.
It is Ilina's wish that girls and boys see science and math as equally interesting ways to explore and understand our world and leave it better than we found it. Ilina is a student of Class 11 and lives in Gurgaon with her parents and her dearest dog Uzi.
