by women scientists, so they can more effectively guide
women during their careers. While the reader may be left
with many unresolved questions of how to overcome the
challenges in closing the gender gap, the author balances
this by suggesting specific, practical behaviors for individuals,
as well as providing realistic recommendations
for mentors and institutions - all aimed at ensuring that
women are valued and properly represented in the future.
Both books highlight the dramatic impact women can
have, and are having, on science and engineering. Both
encourage women to take ownership of their careers, by
providing realistic tips for success and by relating inspiring
stories of others. Both books would benefit a wide audience,
including young women considering career paths, potential
mentors, senior managers seeking to recruit and retain scientific
women, and female scientists and engineers.
