Animal Allies

This is the book I wish I had as a young girl interested in science! Reading the personal stories about these amazing women in biology and learning about their research and careers will without a doubt inspire the next generation of women scientists. This is a must-have book for anyone interested in animals and science." - Corrie S. Moreau, PhD, director and curator of the Cornell University Insect Collection "Animal Allies inspires girls to explore a career in STEM through the biographies of trailblazing women in wildlife research. This book opens the windows of opportunities and doors of imagination for young women. Every child should have the opportunity to dream about a career path where they can create, imagine, and make a difference in the world." - Dr. Artika R. Tyner, author of Justice Makes a Difference: The Story of Miss Freedom Fighter, Esquire "A timely and terrific book about women in wildlife research. The portraits are fascinating; the additional resources and activities are fabulous. Animal Allies will inspire young nature lovers everywhere." - Deborah Hopkinson, author of Butterflies Belong Here
