Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist | Ages 4 to 8 years
INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN IN SCIENCE
Mary Anning loved scouring the beach near her England home for shells and fossils. She fearlessly climbed over crumbling cliffs and rocky peaks, searching for new specimens. One day, something caught Mary’s eye: Bones. Dinosaur Bones. Mary’s discoveries rocked the world of science and helped create a brand-new field of study: paleontology.
But many people believed women couldn’t be scientists, so Mary wasn’t given the credit she deserved. Nevertheless, Mary kept looking and learning more, making discoveries that reshaped scientific beliefs about the natural world.
