Overview

Este es el verdadero relato de una mujer que, con su genialidad y pericia mecánica, ayudó a Gran Bretaña a ganar la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su vida sin duda inspirará a los lectores STEM y a los admiradores de mujeres extraordinarias de la historia.

“Shilling’s is a fantastic story, engagingly told, and perfectly complemented by Duncan’s illustrations.” —Air & Space Magazine


Beatrice Shilling no se parecía a otros niños. Era capaz de construir cualquier cosa. Podía arreglar cualquier cosa. Y cuando desarmaba algo, podía armarlo de nuevo y mejor que antes.

Cuando Beatrice se fue de su casa para estudiar ingeniería, sabía que, siendo mujer, no iba a ser exactamente igual que los otros ingenieros—y no lo fue. Fue mejor que ellos. No obstante, tuvo que trabajar duro y con perseverancia para persuadir a los dirigentes de la Real Fuerza Aérea a que le dieran una oportunidad. Pero cuando estalló la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los pilotos de combate británicos surcaban los cielos en una lucha desesperada por sobrevivir contra los bombarderos de Hitler, se hizo evidente que era hora de explorar nuevas ideas. ¿Podría Beatrice solucionar un enigma mecánico y ayudar a Gran Bretaña a ganar la guerra? La autora americana Mara Rockliff y el ilustrador británico Daniel Duncan se han unido para dar a conocer, con una mirada fresca, lo que fue un punto de inflexión en la historia moderna—y el papel que jugó una mujer extraordinaria, cuya ingenuidad, persistencia y manejo de la llave inglesa la convirtieron en alguien diferente a cualquier otra persona. Una nota de la autora y una lista de fuentes selectas proveen información adicional para los lectores curiosos.

Beatrice Shilling wasn’t quite like other children. She could make anything. She could fix anything. And when she took a thing apart, she put it back together better than before.

When Beatrice left home to study engineering, she knew that as a girl she wouldn’t be quite like the other engineers—and she wasn’t. She was better. Still, it took hard work and perseverance to persuade the Royal Aircraft Establishment to give her a chance. But when World War II broke out and British fighter pilots took to the skies in a desperate struggle for survival against Hitler’s bombers, it was clearly time for new ideas. Could Beatrice solve an engine puzzle and help Britain win the war? American author Mara Rockliff and British illustrator Daniel Duncan team up for a fresh look at a turning point in modern history—and the role of a remarkable woman whose ingenuity, persistence, and way with a wrench (or spanner) made her quite unlike anyone else. An author’s note and a list of selective sources provide additional information for curious readers.
