Charlesbridge and Netgalley have provided me with a copy of She Sells Seashells for review:
The first thing Mary Anning did was collect shells and other curiosities to sell in her family’s shop. She discovered fossils that changed our understanding of life on Earth forever. As paleontology emerged, educated male scientists did not recognize Mary’s skills, nor did they include her in their discussions.
Mary was too busy making new discoveries to care about those rich educated men. In today’s world, she is regarded as the first paleontologist. In the back of the book, Mary’s remarkable life is explored, including where she lived, her relationships, and the challenges of being a woman in her time.
I give She Sells Seashells five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
