Nothing Stopped Sophie

The lovely and inspiring story of a brilliant woman who fell in love with numbers and didn't let being told “girls can't” and “women don't” get in the way of her learning and dreaming.

I especially appreciated the numerous notes at the end of the book regarding Sophie's life, and the writing and illustration processes. Barbara McClintock's art is dreamy and poetic, and learning about her strategy for coloring Sophie's life is very interesting.
