2017 Amelia Bloomer List, Early Readers Nonfiction
Before Eugenie Clark’s groundbreaking research, most of the people thought sharks were vicious, blood-thirsty killers. From the primary time she saw a shark in an aquarium, Japanese-American Eugenie used to be enthralled. As an alternative of frightening and ferocious eating machines, she saw sleek, graceful fish gliding in the course of the water. After she was a scientist—an unexpected career path for a girl within the 1940s—she started taking research dives and coaching sharks, earning her the nickname “The Shark Lady.”
