"Animal Allies inspires girls to explore a career in STEM through the biographies of trailblazing women in wildlife research. This book opens the windows of opportunities and doors of imagination for young women. Every child should have the opportunity to dream about a career path where they can create, imagine, and make a difference in the world." —Dr. Artika R. Tyner, author of Justice Makes a Difference: The Story of Miss Freedom Fighter, Esquire
“I loved this book! The profiles are readable and personal, capturing the passion these women feel for their work protecting wildlife. The conversational style of writing makes science and scientists feel accessible, while connecting specific living creatures to larger environmental issues like climate change and social justice issues like racism and sexism.” —Mary Cronk Farrell, award-winning journalist and the author of Fannie Never Flinched and Pure Grit
“Elizabeth Pagel-Hogan makes STEM come alive with her captivating narratives of women scientists in the field. The detailed slice-of-life biographies written in accessible language, along with side bars that include fascinating background info and subtle calls to action, create an indispensable volume for the classroom or homeschool library.” —Teresa Robeson, author of Queen of Physics
"The women highlighted in Animal Allies are funny, smart, and above all else tough. Reading was more than an inspiration, it was a reminder that women are out there, all over the world, learning, exploring, and figuring out how animals live—all while creating space for future generations of passionate women to work alongside us." —Dr. Michelle LaRue, associate professor, University of Canterbury
