Stolen science : thirteen untold stories of scientists and inventors almost written out of history

Schwartz, Ella 1974- (author.). D'Alessandro, Gaby, (illustrator.).

Summary: "Over the centuries, women, people from underrepresented communities, and immigrants overcame prejudices and social obstacles to make remarkable discoveries in science-but they weren't the ones to receive credit in history books. People with more power, money, and prestige were remembered as the inventor of the telephone, the scientists who decoded the structure of DNA, and the doctor who discovered the cause of yellow fever. This book aims to set the record straight and celebrate the nearly forgotten inventors and scientists who shaped our world today."--Publisher.
