In this biography for kids, discover the inspiring story of Jane Goodall, whose work with chimpanzees changed the way we understand animals and ourselves.
Jane Goodall was a pioneer of primatology through her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees in Africa.
When she embarked on her career, women were discouraged from conducting scientific research, especially when that work meant living side by side with wild animals. A self-taught scientist, Jane bravely ventured out into the bush of Tanzania to learn about the secret world of chimpanzees.
Discover how, through perseverance and perceptive observation, she gained access to these elusive creatures and discovered that they are not so different from us.
