This original graphic novel features famous women scientists including Marie Curie, Emmy Noether, Lise Meitner, Rosalind Franklin, Barbara McClintock, Birute Galdikas, and Hedy Lamarr.

The whole thing ends up being a patchwork quilt with missing or mismatched pieces. In it, Hobhouse discusses how the shortage of timber in the United Kingdom led to the use of coal, which led to scientific advances and ultimately to the industrial revolution. Each page features only two jumbo-sized letters, and the rhyming prose discusses the
