Dear Editor,

          Please publish more articles about women scientists. Women scientists have made outstanding contributions to the world. These women make excellent role models. More young women may choose science as a profession if women read featured articles on female scientists like Marie Curie and Rachel -Carson. Both women were encouraged to study science,and they both accomplished great things.

          With her father，s encouragement,Marie Curie made the world a better place through her scientific accomplishments. She studied the emission(放射) gf rays from uranium(鈾) ，a feature she called “radioactivity(放射性) .” Later,Curie and her husband,also a scientist,processed the mineral pitchblende before separating two radioactive elements(元素). With this discovery,Marie Curie earned her doctorate,and shortly thereafter,both she and her husband were awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics. In 1911 Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work with the newly discovered elements; this work laid the foundation for X-rays and atomic physics.

           When Rachel Carson was young,her mother encouraged her to study nature. As an adult,she became known as the mother of the modem environmental movement. After studying marine biology and zoology in college,Carson worked as2.government scientist End wrote several books on how all living things relate to each other. In 1951 her book The Sea Around Us made scientific knowledge about the sea accessible to the general reader and remained on the best-seller list for eighty-six weeks. In 1962 Carson wrote Silent Spring,a book that helped lead to improvements in the use of chemical pesticides (農(nóng)藥) .

           Humans have benefited greatly from the work of Marie Curie and Rachel Carson. What if these women had not been encouraged to become scientists? I believe that we need to encourage young women to enter the field of science. With that goal in mind,I sincerely hope your magazine can publish more articles about the contributions that women make to science.

                               Sincerely,

                               Annie Bastien,Grade 7
