Gr 6 Up-A unique look at how women have influenced science, this series focuses on five different fields and the scientists (both current and throughout history) who've helped shape them. The books, broken down into clearly labeled chapters and subject headings, are text-heavy and dense with information, and the format is a bit off-putting. Large information boxes with white font on red backgrounds occasionally break up the texts, which are rather crowded on the pages. "Words to Know" (with the vocabulary words in red throughout the chapters) and "Find Out More" sections are at the end of each chapter. There is some weak writing in places (e.g. "More important, talk to a real scientist!"). Despite these shortcomings, these volumes, in which the final chapters focus on career opportunities for women in the sciences, will encourage girls to embrace STEM.
