Reviews

“There are phenomenal women all over the technology landscape but we need to tell their stories to inspire more and to show what’s possible. Unfortunately the industry, while growing in importance has shrinking numbers of women. This is a must read.” — Martha Lane Fox, co-founder of  lastminute.com

“Women have played a fundamental part in the creation and success of the technology industry. We should all have grown up hearing their names, but unfortunately too often their contributions have not been championed. This book highlights the incredible contributions of 50 inspiring women tech pioneers, don’t miss the opportunity to find out all about them.” — Sue Black, computer scientist

“As a woman who works in STEM, I was really looking forward to reading this book. It did not disappoint. Even as someone who works in STEM, I learned a lot and there are women I intend to look into further.” ****  — Jessica Fisk, Netgalley

“Celebrating trailblazers past and present, this book pays tribute to pioneering women in STEM fields. This book is engaging, informative, and easy to read. The interviews will be especially interesting for students interested in a STEM career. ” ***** — Andrea Romance, Netgalley

“The stories are inspirational and should be told at school, in the workplace, in the media and in the home. While reading to a young boy or girl about a sports hero may be a popular choice at bedtime, an inspiration excerpt from 50 Women In Technology may have longer, more positive consequences for their overall development.” — Kevin Cougler, Director, STEM Camp.
