Storie e vite di SUPERDONNE che hanno fatto la SCIENZA

From Ada Lovelace to Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin to Rita Levi Montalcini, and Maria Mitchell to Grace Murray Hopper, the lives of the most important female scientists told for the first time by one of their own.

At a time when the world is experiencing a renewed wave of feminism spanning all generations, the physicist and journalist Gabriella Greison has decided to tell the stories of the lives of twenty extraordinary women who contributed to scientific breakthroughs and human progress with passion and perseverance. As children, they too had secret dreams and ambitions, which is why we should all look to them for inspiration.

Their experiences and their legacy reflect the most precious part of our inner selves; the part of us that we should cherish most.

Twenty international and established male illustrators and artists have paid tribute to these scientists by interpreting their spirit in a series of contemporary, yet timeless portraits that illustrate each story.
