Synopsis "Little Girls & Nobel Prizes: America's Girl Power"
Girl-Empowerment at it's best. This book empowers girls with real-life examples that nothing can hold them back from pursuing what they love and achieving their dreams. This based-on-true-stories children's book highlights the lives, struggles, as well as educational & professional achievements of all female Nobel laureates from America. Despite life's biggest challenges and with their sheer Grit to pursue what they love, they broke professional-educational ceilings along the way and became America's female Nobel laureates. Along the way, they literally changed America and the world. Each woman is featured in her own chapter with a colorful portrait (at the end of each chapter). A few storied examples from the book: >Her Dyslexia caused poor standardized test scores as a student. Yet, she won a Nobel Prize as an adult and became a Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins University. >As a child of first-generation immigrants and without a formal PhD, she became the 1st woman inducted into Inventors Hall of Fame and received a Nobel Prize. >She was rejected from entering a PhD program in Economics. Yet, she became the only woman in the world to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. >Her parents escaped racism of the south. She grew up in poverty of the Great Depression. She was the only African American student in her first-grade class. She won a Nobel Prize and is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. >As a young woman, she had to work two secretarial jobs to pay for college. Years later, she won a Nobel Prize in medicine. >As a child, her parents couldn't afford to raise her so they sent her to live with other family members. She grew up and became America's only woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize in Medicine. >She suffered through starvation-related hospitalizations of World War in Europe. As a first-generation immigrant to the U.S. and despite facing gender discriminatory attitudes of the time, she went on to become America's 1st woman to win a Nobel Prize in science. >She lost her mother at the age of 2. She lost four other siblings by the time she was 8. Her Tuberculosis of the spine forced her to walk with a limp. She became America's first-ever winner of a Nobel Prize and a co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
