Reddit reviews Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World

I bought that book for my mom to read to her first grade students, and the girls love it! There's also this one that's a bit similar but focuses on women in science, and I believe they published one about women athletes this year.

• This Easter Island Tiki Tissue Box Holder (hilarious but useful gift to give to friends)
  
• This cellphone stand holder
  
• If ya like cute socks & Totoro, these are super cute & comfortable (they tend to run small though). If you like cats, these cat socks.
  
• These books about women in science: one and two
  
• This fun dream journal
  
• This cute hair headband to use when washing your face. Another one.
  
  Edit: More!
  
  
• This TonyMoly fruit-shaped hand cream set (I love these because I can reuse them for other lotions after they're empty)
  
• This mini stun gun w/ flashlight
  
• This bag/purse hanger/hook thing (keeps your purse/bag off the floor when you're at a restaurant/bathroom/etc. Really handy stuff)

Are you looking for fiction or non-fiction?

As far as non-fiction goes here are a few I like for kids:

Women in Science

Rad American Women

Girls Think of Everything

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls

And if you search for any of these books there are always suggestions of tons of other great books. I have a Girl Scout troop so I'm always browsing for great pro-women books for them.

Also the Wreck this Journal books aren't "books" but still super fun for girls that age!

Ok I had to review with my wife which was which because I was conflating a couple books we got.

This one, was a bit heavy handed but actually a pretty solid set of biographies about women in science that also discusses the struggles they had specifically as women. Heavy handed sometimes but overall good.

This one was hot garbage. It was tons of ham fisted biographies of women where the overall message is "women are better than men." The lessons from the stories were lame, the overall message was lame, it wasn't well written. That one was a stinker.

This was the fairy tale one. It is a really beautiful book but the "updated" stories are just these lame modernized stinkers like "Cinderella is mistreated so she forms her own company to respect workers rights" and the like. So the author bravely "subverts" all the classic fairy tales (oooh how post modern!) and you are left with a kind of a preachy collection of over the top screeds. It isn't quite as bad as I am making it out to be but overall it was more annoying than refreshing.

Actually there are a ton of these books, I just didn't want to spam people with book recs. Some other faves (written by women I don't know, haha) are Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World by Rachel Ignotofsky and literally-reading-it-right-now Bygone Badass Broads by Mackenzi Lee

If you're into stuff like this, check out this amazing book.

I have this book which has illustrations and brief histories of 50 women in science. The Barnes & Nobel exclusive comes with a poster.

I am on mobile but I was gifted 2 books that I think are great for her! One book was about 50 amazing women scientists. The other was called "Bad Girls from History" which tells the stories of courageous, rebellious, yet influential women. I'll try to come back to my comment later today and add the proper titles.


EDIT: Added proper book titles:

1. Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World
   
   
2. Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World
