Women's History in the STEAM fields

We're going to Family Night at the Crossroads Academy and looking forward to sharing some books about women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math fields. Because I love nature so much, that will be the focus of this list for all of my friends, all of them written by women. Go on, read a good book and then Go Outside!
