Girls Think of Everything: Stories of Ingenious Inventions by Women

This book highlights the remarkable contributions of women and girls who have invented ingenious innovations from various unconventional locations such as kitchens, living rooms, garages, labs, basements, and even converted chicken coops. It features notable inventors like Ruth Wakefield, Mary Anderson, and Stephanie Kwolek, among others, and explores how they turned their ideas into realities. Their creations, ranging from the windshield wiper to the chocolate chip cookie, have not only made our lives simpler but have become enduring symbols of ingenuity. The book is illustrated with vibrant collages by Caldecott Honor artist Melissa Sweet and also includes stories of young inventors Becky Schroeder and Alexia Abernathy.
