Young Hedy Lamarr was fascinated with machines. At 5 years old, she would take apart her music box and put it back together to see how it worked. A gifted musician and actress, she soon found fame on the stage, but her scientific curiosity never stopped.

Electronics, chemistry, engineering - whatever Hedy put her mind to, she came up with ingenious inventions, blazing a trail for women in science and making great strides towards the technology of today. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Hedy's astonishing life.
