Ordinary Matter

About this book

A captivating collection inspired by the extraordinary lives of women in science.

In 1895, Alfred Nobel bequeathed his fortune to honor groundbreaking thinkers. Since 1901, women have been recognized with Nobel Prizes for their scientific contributions, including Marie Curie, twice. This inventive collection of short stories spans more than a century, drawing inspiration from these remarkable women whose work has reshaped history and saved countless lives.

From the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon to a climate protest in Paris, Ordinary Matter explores ingenuity, motherhood, and legacy. These stories delve into the personal and professional lives of women who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on the world. For readers seeking inspiration and reflection, this collection offers a poignant exploration of the extraordinary within the ordinary.
