Writing That Sponsors Women in STEM

Lessons learned from female leaders in science

The author of many fiction and nonfiction books, Deborah M. Shlian, M.D., brings us Lessons Learned, the stories of 31 brilliant women in science, technology, engineering and math who overcame the odds to push science forward while paving the way for the women yet to come.

While women make up 48% of the workforce, when it comes to STEM fields, women hold only about 29% of positions, with the majority of those in the biological and life sciences.

There is no evidence that girls and women are not interested in STEM fields. However, research does suggest that cultural attitudes, including implicit and explicit biases, discourage women from entering computer science, engineering, mathematics and physics in particular.

One of the ways to increase that participation is to have role models who will inspire young women to consider STEM careers.

The Hope

“The hope is that young readers (especially girls) will find these stories so inspiring that they will consider a STEM career, and those already enrolled in STEM Ph.D. programs will aim to become leaders within their field,” says Shlian.
