A wonderful, historical novel based on the lives of two women far ahead of their time. Their struggles to be taken seriously by 19th century men of science did not hinder their efforts. Mary Annings and Elizabeth Philpot's contributions to the field of natural history were some of the most important geological finds of all times and Tracy Chevalier has presented their story in this remarkable novel.
