BUYING ADVISORY: EL – OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

A biographical account of Beulah Henry, a white upper class woman in the early 1900s America, who had more patents to her name than any other woman in history. She eventually gained the nickname “Lady Edison” and would have several factories in her name.

I wanted to love this story more than I did. A woman in STEM? Heck yes! However, the story was boring and not very inspiring. I think it would only appeal to a small portion of readers.
