Dignifying Science: Stories about Women Scientists (1999)

The companion to Two-Fisted Science, devoted to women in science. Jim Ottaviani's anthology tells true stories of Marie Curie, Emmy Noether, Lise Meitner, Rosalind Franklin, Barbara McClintock, Biruté Galdikas and Hedy Lamarr, each drawn by a different artist. The lineup of artists is a treat in itself, with Ramona Fradon, Marie Severin, Carla Speed McNeil and Linda Medley among them, and the short format means you can meet a physicist one evening and a geneticist the next. It was nominated for an Eisner Award, and it suits readers who want a breadth of science in bite-sized pieces.
