Why read it?
1 author picked Power in Numbers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a beautiful book filled with glossy color photos, that would be a lovely gift for any girl or woman interested in mathematics, or really, any human.
Inside the book are the “rebel women” who have specialized in mathematics (and yes it seems you still need to be a rebel to succeed in this male-dominated field). I learned so much about the mathematics the women studied and created, as well as the ways they battled for recognition to be able to contribute to mathematics.
The book is filled with powerful and creative mathematics produced by inspirational women.
From Jo's list on women rocking math and science.
