Finding Wonders: Three Girls Who Changed Science
Maria Merian was sure that caterpillars were not wicked things born from mud, as most people of her time believed. Through careful observation, she discovered the truth about metamorphosis and documented her findings in gorgeous paintings of the life cycles of insects. More than a century later, Mary Anning helped her father collect stone sea creatures from the cliffs in southwest England. To him, they were merely a source of income, but to Mary they held a stronger fascination. Intrepid and patient, she eventually discovered fossils that would change people’s vision of the past. Across the ocean, Maria Mitchell helped her mapmaker father in the whaling village of Nantucket. At night, they explored the starry sky through his telescope. Maria longed to discover a new comet—and after years of studying the night sky, she finally did.
