Beschreibung:
Why is it that, while women in the US have generally made great strides in establishing parity with their male counterparts in educational attainment, they remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)? By showcasing the stories of eight women scientists who have achieved successful careers, Women Breaking In offers vivid insights into the challenges and barriers that women face in entering STEM.
