Remarkables is a book about 15 women who made significant contributions to science, food, art, and medicine. These women overcame obstacles and achieved great things, inspiring others to do the same.

The book is divided into four sections, each of which focuses on a different field. The first section, "Science," features women such as Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, and Elizabeth Blackwell. The second section, "Food," features women such as Julia Child, Alice Waters, and Edna Lewis. The third section, "Art," features women such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, and Artemisia Gentileschi. The fourth section, "Medicine," features women such as Elizabeth Blackwell, Florence Nightingale, and Virginia Apgar.

Each of the 15 women featured in Remarkables has her own unique story to tell. Some of these women were born into poverty and had to overcome many obstacles to achieve their goals. Others were born into privilege but still had to fight against discrimination and prejudice. All of these women, however, were determined to make a difference in the world, and they all achieved great things.

The stories of these women are inspiring and motivating. They show us that anything is possible if we set our minds to it. They also remind us of the importance of diversity and inclusion in all fields. When we give women the opportunity to succeed, they can achieve amazing things.

Remarkables is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of women in STEM fields. It is also a great book for anyone who wants to be inspired by the stories of successful women.
