STEM Icons - Celebrating LGBTQ+ History - Paperback

by Moni Singh (Author)

STEM Icons presents inspiring stories of people whose inventions, discoveries and research have advanced the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering And Math (STEM). The stories are presented in a kid-friendly rhyming manner. Teachers, parents and caregivers, you can read these stories or let your advanced readers read by themselves.

In Celebrating LGBTQ+ History, learn about the iconic people who remained unfazed by discrimination, societal and professional stigma, isolation, and in some cases, even criminal penalties, to live their authentic lives. Against all odds, they did inspiring work and changed the landscape of STEM.

Learn about the father of Artificial Intelligence who helped his country win wars yet faced persecution due to his sexuality. Meet Dr. Jo, who revolutionized health for children, and yet had to dress up in men's wear in the then male dominated society. Meet the neuroscientist who experienced the world of STEM as a woman and then as a man. Read for more inspiring stories during the Pride month and beyond.
