Inspire your daughter to study math

My eight-year-old daughter and I read this book together, and we loved it. If you are disturbed that Larry Summers of Harvard thinks women can't do math, reading about Grace Hopper will calm you down. Not only was she a math and computer genius, but she was also a high-ranking naval officer who served well past the normal retirement age. "Grace Hopper: Computer Whiz" should be an inspiration to both girls and boys, and this book can also inspire parents to read the recent adult biography of Grace Hopper.
