商品描述

Poems about historical women in STEM fields.

Hilarious, heart-breaking, and perfectly pitched, these carefully researched poems about historical women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine will bring you to both laughter and outrage in just a few lines. A wickedly funny, feminist take on the lives and work of women who resisted their parents, their governments, the rules and conventions of their times, and sometimes situations as insidious as a lack of a women's bathroom in a college science building.

Discover seashells by the seashore alongside Mary Anning and learn how Elizabeth Blackwell lost her eye. Read about Bertha Pallan's side hustle in the circus, Honor Fell bringing a ferret to her sister's wedding, Annie Jump Cannon cataloguing stars, Mary G. Ross stumping the panel on "What's My Line?," Alice Ball's cure for leprosy, and Roberta Eike stowing away on a research vessel. Some of these poems celebrate women who triumphed spectacularly. Others remember women who barely survived.

Explore the stories of women you may have heard of (Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, Émilie du Châtelet) alongside those of others you may not (Virginia Apgar, Maryam Mirzakhani, Ynes Mexia, Susan La Flesche Picotte, Chien-Shiung Wu). If you have come across Randall's poems in Scientific American, Analog, or Asimov's, you will have already opened the door to these tales, all the more extraordinary because they are true.

Illustrated with Kristin DiVona's portraits for NASA's "Reaching Across the Stars" project, this is a book to share with scientists, feminists, and poets, young and old and of any gender.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

關於歷史女性在STEM領域的詩篇。

這些關於科學、技術、工程、數學和醫學的歷史女性的詩篇，幽默、感人且恰到好處，經過精心研究，能在短短幾行中帶給你笑聲與憤怒。這是一種惡搞的幽默、女性主義的視角，描繪了那些抵抗父母、政府、時代規則和慣例的女性，有時甚至面對如大學科學大樓缺乏女性廁所這樣隱秘的情況。

與瑪麗·安寧（Mary Anning）一起在海邊發現海螺，了解伊莉莎白·布萊克威爾（Elizabeth Blackwell）如何失去她的眼睛。閱讀有關伯莎·帕蘭（Bertha Pallan）在馬戲團的副業、榮譽·費爾（Honor Fell）帶著一隻雪貂參加她姐姐婚禮的故事、安妮·跳躍·坎農（Annie Jump Cannon）編目星星、瑪麗·G·羅斯（Mary G. Ross）在《我的職業是什麼？》節目中讓評審困惑、愛麗絲·鮑爾（Alice Ball）治療麻風的療法，以及羅伯塔·艾克（Roberta Eike）偷偷潛入研究船的故事。其中一些詩篇讚頌了那些壯麗勝利的女性，而另一些則紀念那些勉強生存的女性。

探索你可能聽過的女性故事（瑪麗·居里、珍·古道爾、艾米莉·杜·查特萊）以及你可能不熟悉的女性（維吉尼亞·阿普加（Virginia Apgar）、瑪麗亞姆·米爾扎哈尼（Maryam Mirzakhani）、伊內斯·梅希亞（Ynes Mexia）、蘇珊·拉·弗萊謝·皮科特（Susan La Flesche Picotte）、吳健雄（Chien-Shiung Wu））。如果你在《科學美國人》（Scientific American）、《類比》（Analog）或《阿西莫夫》（Asimov's）中見過蘭德爾（Randall）的詩篇，你將已經打開了這些故事的大門，因為它們的真實性使其更加非凡。

本書配有克里斯汀·迪沃納（Kristin DiVona）為NASA的「跨越星空」項目創作的肖像，適合與科學家、女性主義者和詩人分享，無論年齡、性別。
