I love Dava Sobel's dedication to telling the story of the stars, of space, and the planets. So many of her books flow lyrically captivating the reader in a beautiful narrative that they only later remember is actually true. I thank my favorite history teacher for introducing me to Sobel back in 2012.
This book spanned approximately half a century without ever focusing on just one woman. Sobel weaves together the story putting the women front and center without losing the overall narrative thread. Absolutely loved this book.

The Economist #1 New York Times bestselling author Dava Sobel returns with a captivating, little-known true story of women in science.
