Summary A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the landscape for women in STEM careers. The best part, though, is that they also talk about best practices for women on how to thrive in those environments, to find support, how to self-advocate, and how to resist structural barriers.. Recommendations for leaders in the academy to retain women in STEM departments are provided. I most highly recommend it. Nadya A. Fouad, Ph.D, ABPP Mary and Ted Kellner Endowed Chair of Educational Psychology University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Distinguished Professor This book is not just about women or for women!!! Its about all of us and for all of us! Science is advanced to the benefit of everyone as a result of diverse perspectives and approaches to discovery that emanate though the lens of women of diverse ethnic and racial cultural traditions. (This is more than about social justice - it is a required attribute in the continuous quest for TRUTH!) Orlando L. Taylor, PhD Distinguished Senior Advisor to the President Executive Director & Co-PI, Center for the Advancement of STEM Leadership Immediate Past Chair, Board of Directors, Council for Higher Education Accreditation Distinguished Fellow, Association of American Colleges & Universities Professor and Dean Emeritus, Howard University Fielding Graduate University This book centers on the voices of scientists, whose experiences as women of color in science fields lend a unique understanding of the enterprise of knowledge production. Their stories provide warmth and protection in an otherwise chilly climate for future generations of scientists. Melanie Domenech-Rodriguez, PhD Professor, Department of Psychology Utah State University A thoughtful and refreshing view of the challenges for women leading in STEM, offering compassionate insight into the difficulty and opportunity for women to remain in STEM and to be appreciated for their work as scientists. With historical perspective as well as real-world examples, the work is a fantastic reference for women who are aspiring, training for and enduring leadership in STEM disciplines., (where women are not the dominant gender, and for men in STEM who are advocates and allies). Goldie Smith Byrd, PhD Director, Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity Professor, Social Sciences and Health Policy.
