F.R. Brady
In Genius: 50 Women Who Changed the World, F.R. Brady offers a lively and inspiring collection of the stories of women who reshaped science, politics, art, sports, civil rights, and more. From the woman who helped invent Wi-Fi, to spies, survivors, and entrepreneurs, these are tales of strategy, strength, and smarts.
Packed with historical images and little-known narratives, each chapter of Genius focuses on a decisive moment—when a woman faced the odds, made a bold choice, and changed what was possible for those who followed. Readers will follow spy Virginia Hall through the Pyrenees as she escapes the Nazis, writer Mary Wollstonecraft on her journey to becoming one of the founding feminist philosophers, and mathematician Katherine Johnson as her calculations send astronauts to space.
With a mix of well-known names and unsung heroes, Genius celebrates the clever, the cunning, and the unstoppable. It redefines what it means to be brilliant, and shows teen readers that the world changes when someone dares to act.

Critics' reviews
I learned about remarkable women I felt I should have known about, whose contributions history hasn't yet shined a light on. These stories remind women and men alike to challenge expectations, push against the boundaries others may set for them, and persevere in pursuit of the life, work, and dreams that matter most to them. In doing so, we can do more than simply change the course of our own lives...we can help change what’s possible for those who come next. (Nicole Malachowski, retired colonel, first female USAF Thunderbird pilot)
With masterful craft and storytelling, Brady captures readers with empathetic and soulful stories of when the 50 women changed the lives of all to follow. (Blake Wiley, language arts teacher, Pine View School)
I can’t wait to use this book in my classroom. The engaging storytelling will keep readers interested from beginning to end. This will be a wonderful resource! (Jennifer Alexander, English teacher, Woodland School)
