These women have saved countless babies' lives, revolutionized the way scientists studied insects, invented products to help victims of natural disasters, and used satellites in space to solve dinosaur mysteries. They are protecting the environment, perfecting self-driving cars, designing the buildings of the future, and pioneering new practices to save people—and pets too! They’re building robots on YouTube, creating plastic alternatives out of cactus slime, and turning killer snails into life-saving medicine.
