You Can Be A Woman Astronomer by Andrea Mia Ghez and Judith Love Cohen captures the excitement of discovery and combines it with the awesome nature of the universe itself. Dr. Ghez's work has taken her from nights in an observatory in Chile to using instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope in her study of the birth of a star.

School Library Journal gave You Can Be A Woman Astronomer by Andrea MIA Ghez and Judith Love Cohen (ill. by David Katz) an enthusiastic review. The review stated in part: "Though the title seems calculated to keep boys away, there's nothing here that couldn't be read and understood by children of either gender. Ghez describes her lifelong fondness for puzzles and difficult questions that led her to become a scientist, and the excitement of using telescopes and other devices to study the heavens-particularly the birth of stars, her current field of research. The writing is simple but precise; rather than just mentioning the Hubble Space Telescope as one of her tools, she specifies which of its instruments she has utilized... Consider it as a replacement for Paul Sipiera's I Can Be An Astronomer (o.p.)"
