520    Fifty-two inspiring and insightful profiles of history’s 
       brightest female scientists. In 2013, the New York Times 
       published an obituary for Yvonne Brill. It began: “She 
       made a mean beef stroganoff, followed her husband from job
       to job, and took eight years off from work to raise three 
       children.” It wasn’t until the second paragraph that 
       readers discovered why the Times had devoted several 
       hundred words to her life: Brill was a brilliant rocket 
       scientist who invented a propulsion system to keep 
       communications satellites in orbit, and had recently been 
       awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. 
       Among the questions the obituary — and consequent outcry —
       prompted were, Who are the role models for today’s female 
       scientists, and where can we find the stories that cast 
       them in their true light? Headstrong delivers a powerful, 
       global, and engaging response. Covering Nobel Prize 
       winners and major innovators, as well as lesser-known but 
       hugely significant scientists who influence our every day,
       Rachel Swaby’s vibrant profiles span centuries of 
       courageous thinkers and illustrate how each one’s ideas 
       developed, from their first moment of scientific 
       engagement through the research and discovery for which 
       they’re best known. This fascinating tour reveals these 52
       women at their best while encouraging and inspiring a new 
       generation of girls to put on their lab coats.
