review:
“The Brilliant Calculator: How Mathematician Edith Clark Helped Electrify America“ by Jan Lower, with illustrations by Susan Reagan, is the true story about a young woman who loved math.
Little Edith Clark, loved numbers and puzzles and calculations. She wanted to be an engineer, but that wasn’t a profession she could have as a woman. This didn’t stop Edith from following her passion. She constructed a “Calculator“ from paper that was faster than doing math by hand, and helped America get lights and telephones running.
This was a really interesting story about somebody that I really didn’t know anything about. I loved learning about Edith Clark and the illustrations work really great. I recommend this for young readers.
