Who Did It First? is a boldly illustrated compendium featuring the women and men who were pioneers of science, technology, egineering, the arts, and mathematics.
You likely know that Mae Jemison was the first African American woman in space. And maybe you know that Jane Goodall was the first human accepted into a chimpanzee community. You might not know that Alan Turing was the first person to introduce the concept of artificial intelligence. Or that Tu Youyou was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize.

Who Did It First? brings together all of these trailblazers—women and men—into one stunning package. Similar in format to Women in Science, the book features biographical information on fifty people alongside gorgeous illustrations. The book will include both well-known figures and lesser-known heroes and will be a celebration of the folks who braved uncharted waters, to pave the path for future generations.
