(2) 4-6 The stories, in poetry, of three self-taught female scientists: in seventeenth-century Germany, Maria Sibylla Merian studies silkworm metamorphosis; in eighteenth-century England, Mary Anning develops paleontological skills selling fossils to keep her siblings fed; and Maria Mitchell joins her father at his telescope on nineteenth-century Nantucket. Atkins guides readers through themes that connect the women's scientific quests and zeroes in on small but telling moments. Bib.
