Why So Few: Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

by Catherine Hill, Christianne Corbett

This study tackles a puzzling question and presents a picture of what we know and what is still to be understood about girls and women in scientific fields. This book focuses on practical ways that families, schools, and communities can create an environment of encouragement that can disrupt negative stereotypes about women's capacity in these demanding fields.

Research filled and up to date on the current trends on women in STEM. Good reading for anyone who is in the STEM field or wants to encourage a girl or woman in STEM.

Very interesting information and great recommendations. I read it because it is applicable to my work, but also really fascinating research findings that I would want to be aware of if I was a mother of a daughter.
