Why read it?
1 author picked Dinosaur Lady as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This story tells how Mary Anning found amazing fossils and became an expert on the subject, even when many people thought women shouldn’t be scientists.
Mary was never given the credit she deserved, but it didn’t stop her from doing what she loved. While it upsets me that she was often overlooked because she was a woman, I admire her because she didn’t let others’ opinions keep her from the work she enjoyed and did so well.
From Debbie's list on women who wouldn’t give up.
