Inside you will find the fascinating stories of 16 pioneering figures of strikingly different backgrounds: people of varied ethnicities, nationalities, genders, lifestyles, and wealth. What they all have in common - other than their genius - is their bravery, resilience, and ability to think beyond the bounds of established convention.

- Valentina Tereshkova, the extraordinary first woman in space.
- Marie Sklodowska Curie, the great pioneer of radioactivity, and first person to win two Nobel prizes.
- Galileo Galilei, the great physicist who bravely stood by his cosmic theories in the face of the Roman Inquisition.
- Katherine Johnson, the "human computer" who played a key part in NASA's space programme.
- Stephen Hawking, the world-famous physicist who overcame physical paralysis to transform our understanding of black holes.
