When it is necessary to recall the great women come to mind actress queen, a ballerina. More, perhaps, Curie and Kovalevskaya. Of course, this information is incomplete. About how women have changed the world, the whole book was written.

Mom, author and inventor. I came up with a bag-fish juice concentrate (works on the principle of tea packages).

"Invented girls" - a book either for teens, or adults. Bright illustrations, form of presentation and light stories about the complex evidence in favor of the children's book. But the theme is, of course, an adult: the world changed with a slight female hand.

Whether it's medicine or other sciences, household items or electronic gadgets - the inventive idea of ​​women working in all directions. Its fruits are all around us and affect our daily lives. Women invented and created a cure for cancer, helmets for astronauts, coffeemakers and disposable diapers. Women invented games, toys, computer programs.

If a kangaroo backpacks and cookies is more or less understandable (after all, the traditional female occupations - to raise children and cook), then the path to the creation of the bumper for the spacecraft was thorny.

Not so long ago gone are the days when women could not learn to do science, to own inventions. But the laws of inventive talent not strangle, not kill. While the men were engaged in the progress of all mankind, women make everyday life better and easier.

Try to summarize the invention, and it turns out that women have done much to save lives. Starting from Virginia Apgar (Virginia Apgar), which has developed a system for evaluating the condition of the newborn baby, ending (only in this book) Kevlar. And it's not talking about such trifles as the wipers, windshield wipers.

The most interesting thing in the book, of course, not the transfer of facts and a description of how the invention born. Each of them has its way. Some thoughts are the embodiment of using a team of professionals from the Space University. Some make their way in spite of resistance and said "That's impossible!". And some unexpectedly appeared to the inventor themselves.

Who knows, maybe you read the book, and will run to get a patent for his own invention?

The book incites curiosity. One can not all masterpieces of engineering fit in one thin book. Especially for the curious on the last page is a list of books describing the history of inventions. The authors are mainly domestic, and it's great. Apparently, for this is to thank the publishing house.

By the way, in the book there is another bonus - a corporate cookie recipe chocolate chip, on which is going crazy the whole of America. As is well known, sweet activates the brain - bake cookies, read a book and invent.
