Click on the book to read Amazon reviews	Presented in graphic novel format, Primates introduces the reader to three extraordinary female scientists: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birute Galdikas. We learn how each woman got her start in the field, some of the trials they experienced while conducting their field research, and some of the contributions they made to science. Primates does an amazing job of seamlessly weaving these three stories together. Although the volume is slim, the reader is left with a solid understanding of how each woman pursued her dream and the impact each had on her field. The graphic format makes this topic interesting and accessible for all readers and many will be left wanting to learn even more about these extraordinary women.   (Vermont Dorothy Canfield Fisher award, 2015)
