Empowering the Future of STEM

This book is a celebration of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It features 12 boundary-breaking innovators who have a lot in common. They are smart, curious, and hard-working - and they have disabilities, chronic illnesses, or neurodivergent brains. Through their accomplishments and advocacy, they are reshaping the world to be more diverse and inclusive. You'll meet a statistician who is working to improve people's health, a mathematician who uses her skills to help keep oceans healthy, an astrophysicist who converts complex data into sound, and an industrial chemist who figured out how to turn some of the rocks left over from mining into the main ingredient in laundry detergent. Look inside and be inspired to pursue your own STEM journey!
