(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. This updated collection profiles fifteen female inventors, eliminates three outdated chapters, and spotlights seven new inventions. There's a laudable increase in subjects' diversity and a more contemporary focus. Many "personal interviews...employ[ing] a conversational tone" (per the original Horn Book Magazine review) remain, as does emphasis on "accomplishments over personality." Sweet has added more vibrant collages to new and old chapters of this informative, empowering resource. Timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
