Poems about historical women in STEM fields.
Hilarious, heart-breaking, and perfectly pitched, these carefully researched poems about historical women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine will bring you to both laughter and outrage in just a few lines. A wickedly funny, feminist take on the lives and work of women who resisted their parents, their governments, the rules and conventions of their times, and sometimes situations as insidious as a lack of a womens bathroom in a college science building.
Discover seashells by the seashore alongside Mary Anning and learn how Elizabeth Blackwell lost her eye. Read about Bertha Pallans side hustle in the circus, Honor Fell bringing a ferret to her sisters wedding, Annie Jump Cannon cataloguing stars, Mary G. Ross stumping the panel on Whats My Line?, Alice Balls cure for leprosy, and Roberta Eike stowing away on a research vessel. Some of these poems celebrate women who triumphed spectacularly. Others remember women who barely survived.
Explore the stories of women you may have heard of (Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, Émilie du Châtelet) alongside those of others you may not (Virginia Apgar, Maryam Mirzakhani, Ynes Mexia, Susan La Flesche Picotte, Chien-Shiung Wu). If you have come across Randalls poems in Scientific American, Analog, or Asimovs, you will have already opened the door to these tales, all the more extraordinary because they are true.
Illustrated with Kristin DiVonas portraits for NASAs Reaching Across the Stars project, this is a book to share with scientists, feminists, and poets, young and old and of any gender.
