520    Ten Women Who Changed Science tells the moving stories of 
       the physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and 
       doctors who helped to shape our world with their 
       extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions, and outlines 
       their remarkable achievements.These scientists overcame 
       significant obstacles, often simply because they were 
       women their science and their lives were driven by 
       personal tragedies and shaped by seismic world events. 
       What drove these remarkable women to cure previously 
       incurable diseases, disprove existing theories or discover
       new sources of energy? Some were rewarded with the Nobel 
       Prize for their pioneering achievements - Madame Curie, 
       twice - others were not and, even if they had, many are 
       not household names.Despite living during periods when the
       contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, 
       these resilient women persevered with their research, 
       whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our 
       knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 
       'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these 
       women, in a variety of ways, has made the world a better 
       place.
