Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Woman joins these other books by Elkins-Tanton:

Earth by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen and Linda T. Elkins-Tanton (Bloomsbury 2017)

“Earth is a magical, unusual, curious book…Cohen and Elkins-Tanton describe it as a ‘little book about an impossibly large subject.’ This subject is made even larger by Cohen and Elkins-Tanton’s forays into discussions of beauty, creativity, and imagination…” – PopMatters

Planetesimals by Linda T. Elkins-Tanton and Benjamin P. Weiss (Cambridge 2017)

A collection of papers for specialists: “…a host of academic cosmogonists, meteoriticists, Solar System dynamicists, and planetary physicists have collaborated to write 17 review papers. These are collected to form this impressive book, one that is beautifully produced, well-illustrated and an ideal introduction to the topic for a research qualified in maths and physics…I recommend this book unreservedly…” David W.
