One of the best ways to support them is to know their names and buy their work, where possible. So here’s seven of the best books written by women in STEM. Prepare to have your eyes opened.
As Catalyst reports there’s a gender gap in STEM that persists across the world. Studies have highlighted that the women who begin careers in STEM face male-dominated workplaces with high rates of discrimination. However, that isn’t to say that there aren’t amazing mathematicians, scientists, statisticians, engineers, and women working in tech.
