Queen of the Cosmos: Beatrice Hill Tinsley.
Written by Maria Gill.
Illustrated by Alistair Hughes.
Upstart Press Ltd, 2024.
Beatrice Hill Tinsley lived every day as if she was on
borrowed time. Over her short time on Earth, she was determined to further the
world's knowledge of the stars and galaxies. But it was not easy being a female
scientist in those times. She would have to make a heartbreaking decision in
order to follow her destiny. Find out about this extraordinary woman, who
became one of New Zealand's greatest scientists.
I appreciate that aspects of Beatrice’s life aren’t glossed
over – nor gone into in depth – but are included, even for a child audience.
