Women in Science: 100 Postcards

These are beautiful cards. Printed on heavy card stock, I use them while writing postcards to voters. Highly recommend.

This is a beautifully-designed, well-made set of postcards. I was happy to discover two copies of each postcard in the box, because I immediately wanted to keep a set for myself. These are perfect for Postcrossing (see Postcrossing.com), and it's fun to select and send a scientist from the same country as the recipient. I also bought Ignotofsky's book, Women in Science, which features the same artwork, but adds more to the story (not all 50 women are in the book). My 26-year-old scientist granddaughter also loves the set of postcards and book that I purchased for her. Ignotofsky has also created a similar postcard set, Women in Sports. I look forward to seeing more of her work!

I was looking on Amazon for postcards to buy for a postcard exchange. I was having a hard time finding something I liked until I stumbled across incredible Women in Science set. Not only are the cards beautifully illustrated and high quality, I'm having so much fun learning about these brilliant and inspiring women! I appreciate that I'm learning while I send mail, and I know my postcard recipients will be learning, too. When I mailed the first 100, they were so great that I immediately bought a second box.

We recently read Rachel Ignotofsky's first book, Women in Science. These postcards are great for reminding us of the different women we learned about. There are 2 each of the 50 women featured in the book. On one set we are copying down some basic info about each women to use for timelines or review, the other set we are sending out as postcards. There is not much information on the back but these are still fun and we are very happy with them. Hope a set is made for her second book, Women in Sports, as we would buy those too. If you have a friend who is a Postcrosser or science-minded, these would make a nice gift due to the variety and nice thickness of the cards.

Beautifully illustrated pictures of scientific women. There are women from all disciplines of science, from biology to engineering to mathematics. The postcards each contain a full-body illustration of the woman in question, along with various items that relate to her field of study and achievements (for example, the Marie Curie card features beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks). The cards each feature one color scheme, which adds a nice whimsical feel. The cards also feature facts about the scientist with their specialty and birth/death years on the back. The set features 2 copies of each card/scientist. I used these to hand out to students during a school science events and they loved them! Hopefully they will help inspire more girls to go into STEM fields!

These Women in Science postcards are absolutely beautiful! The artwork is gorgeous & they are printed on high quality cardstock! If you have been thinking about buying these postcards but you aren’t sure, DO IT! You wont regret it! I will definitely be buying other series from this artist! <3

I bought these as a gift for a science teacher. They were much appreciated gift. The box highlights the many women who have been prominent in the field of science.

I use these frequently in postcrossing, or to send along a cute little STEM inspired female card. The quality is nice, cards are sturdy. I did empty out the entire box and place the pairs together, so I can see which ones I’ve sent and which I still have a pair of. Adequate space on the back to write your correspondence, and I love the cute little facts on the front.

What a great collection of women scientists, some well known, some I've never heard of. I am sending these to a friend, one a week, who is really enjoying them. It inspires us to look up the scientist to find out more.

科学や数学の分野で活躍した女性のパイオニア達のポストカードブックです。 親しみ易い可愛いデザインで50種類が2枚ずつ計100枚入っています。 科学の分野には詳しくないので知らない女性の方が多いのですが、 彼女たちの功績や言葉などがデザインされていて読んでいると楽しいです。 それぞれの女性の個性をリスペクトしたイラストやデザインだと思います。 個人的には映画Hidden Figures（邦題ドリーム）で描かれた、NASAで活躍した 黒人女性数学者のカードがあったのが嬉しかったです。 切手を貼る場所のデザインもそれぞれ違い凝ってます。 万年筆でも書きやすそうな紙質ですが、通常こういった100枚入りのポストカードブックだと 取り出しやすいように付いているリボンがなく、カードが出しにくいのが残念ですね。 でもそれ位我慢します！

Pas mauvais mais je reste un peu déçue malgré tout Il y a beaucoup de femmes étazuniennes (ou en tous cas aux noms anglo-saxons), on aurait aimé bien plus de diversité. Pour la France, uniquement Marie Curie (encore heureux quand même !). 100 cartes, chacune est en deux exemplaires.

Fantastic set of postcards every class should have a set! These are brilliant- I bought these for my son to give to his classmates instead of cards when he moved schools. Beautiful illustrations with a quote by the scientist, or about them, and details of their specific expertise and what made or makes them special. A wide range to demonstrate that scientist don't just work in labs but also underwater, in space and just about anywhere you can think of. Great to inspire boys and girls, women and men -bought for my children but I've learned just as much as them. Really hope the illustrator/author does a set of postcards for her Women in Sport book soon too.

Le cartoline sono di ottima qualità, le immagini sono molto nitide e stampate su cartoncino spesso. Sono un po' più strette delle cartoline classiche (15,1 x 9,6 cm) ma comunque più che sufficienti per scrivere un messaggio e spedirle. Arrivano all'interno di un bel box in cartone spesso che contiene 100 cartoline, 2 per ogni soggetto. L'unica cosa che manca e avrei aggiunto : un elenco di tutte le donne raffigurate
