This book is a “must-have” as it will ignite the minds of females across the globe. It provides a framework to reshape cultural and societal bias regarding girls and women in STEM.
Inspirational Book for Young Women Interested in Science & Math
Amazing, inspirational book that provides a diverse group of role models to help young women become and stay interested in science and math related careers. I bought a copy for my nieces and goddaughter. I recommend buying one for every budding scientist in your home!
A must have for every parent of a young girl!
This book is awesome! As a Diversity and Inclusion Leader for a major industrial corporation, as well as the mother of a young daughter, this book is so needed! I am helping to put it in the hands of as many young girls and parents of young girls as possible. Thank you Stephanie for taking the time to capture the stories of these 44 Stem Gems!
Valuable lessons
Great book with an important message. I work with a lot of early to mid stage technology companies and some of the best performers have women leading the charge. This book shines a light on recent success stories, inspires the next generation of women leaders in tech and provides an important message to their male counterparts.
I found this book so inspirational even for someone like myself very advanced in my career
I found this book so inspirational even for someone like myself very advanced in my career. The range of ways women are making their mark in the STEM world is awesome. I wish every young girl…..and boy had a chance to read this and realize what is possible.
Great gift for my granddaughter!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my grandchild. I want her to know that she can e anything she wants to be in life!
We CAN Bring More Young Women into STEM Careers!
I work for a foundation that raises scholarship money for young men and women. We recently began a Global Giving Campaign for rural females who want a STEM scholarship. Stephanie Espy hits all the right points in her brilliant book featuring 44 female STEM professionals. There is even a curriculum to use to start STEM Gems clubs in your local schools… THE key to getting young girls exposed to and committed to STEM careers. I am sending this book to the International University of Grand-Bassam so that the students there can mentor younger girls in their communities… they are already doing some of this work. Wonderful and Brava!
Not Dead White Guys… Finally!
I think this a very important book. I hope that middle and high schools everywhere purchase it for their shelves, and students start STEM Gems Clubs everywhere.
A True Diamond in the Rough!
STEM Gems shares an excellent and empowering account of women in STEM. It has encouraged me to continue moving forward with my masters degree in IT and maybe even my Ph.D. I want to look back on my life and know that I’ve contributed to the advancement of women in tech!
I wish that a book like STEM Gems existed when I was a little girl!
I wish that a book like STEM Gems existed when I was a little girl. It is the perfect balance of education and inspiration that every young girl needs to reinforce their confidence and interest in STEM related careers. Stephanie has done a wonderful job writing a book that provides various perspectives on how to leverage STEM to create thriving and interesting careers by planting key seeds early on. I have yet to become a mother… But, I have a copy waiting for my future daughter(s)! I am gifting this book to every young woman I mentor, coach, or expecting parent. I have my own copy, too! It reminds me how awesome we women are! Thanks for writing this book, Stephanie. It is so necessary.
43% of teenage girls said that their school offered limited STEM subjects. So how can organizations and institutions empower girls and women considering a career in STEM? Early exposure.
