Subtitle: 15 incredible inventions from inspiring women!
This book was published in 2018 but it is still available. I suggest you act quickly - this is a one of those books that should be added to your school library.
I feel as though I have been hunting for this book (or a book just like it) for a few years. Back in 2022 a box of brand-new donated books arrived in the library where I volunteer at Westmead Children's Hospital here in Sydney, Australia. Among the treasures was a book about women and their amazing inventions. I read it and was amazed especially about windscreen wipers and syringes. The book I have been looking for is not this book but this one that I found in a library - Brilliant Ideas from Wonderful Women - is just as good. The one that came in the donation box simply disappeared. I am not in charge of the collection or of decisions about which books we accession but I have often wondered what happened to that book I saw back in 2022.
