This week, Butler Bookshelf brings you a collection of our new nonfiction books. In She Can STEM, Liz Lee Heinecke rewrites women scientists into history, providing a short biography on 50 female scientists along with a related science experiment for readers to try at home for each historical figure. This work includes women who contributed to the fields of biology, chemistry, ecology, and physics, featuring people like Christine Darden–an aircraft wing designer who made important strides at NASA–and Tu Youyou–a pharmacist who discovered a treatment for malaria still used today. Readers will love the discoveries, experiments, and enchanting illustrations for each of these inspiring female figures.
