HarperCollins Publishers India: Celebrating women from India who loved science enough to fight for their place in the sun
NEW DELHI: Talking about the book, author and illustrator Ilina Singh says, "It's time for young people to discover the hidden figures- remarkable gutsy girls who pioneered science in India. I wish schools in India would tell us children more about female role models because we can't be what we don't see. I hope the stories inspire more girls to enjoy science and to have fulfilling careers in the field."
"With intelligence and innate artistic talent, young Ilina Singh presents through this book; 11 trailblazing Indian women who overcame all odds to achieve success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)." - Eric Falt, Director and UNESCO Representative to Bhutan, India, Maldives and Sri Lanka
"Ilina's book fills such an important gap for young people to know about Indian scientists. It's a simple , and powerful glance into many important inventions at the hands of Indian women." - Shaili Chopra, Founder – SheThePeople
"The Gutsy Girls of Science is distinctive for several reasons – it presents the biographies of 11 remarkable women who made a mark in the field of science; it also throws light on different areas of science that will motivate readers to explore these; and finally and most strikingly, the book has been written, researched and illustrated by a young adult author who understood the gap that she and others like her must see when looking for more on the careers and achievements of Indian women of science." - Tina Narang, Publisher – HarperCollins Children's Books
