As a PhD student whose faced her share of obstacles in a STEM career, I found Bush's book extremely helpful and soothing - knowing others faced similar challenges. However, as she points out, and as do many current studies, barriers and sterotypes still exists, and professors and managers still tend to undervalue women in STEM careers. Please help them become aware of their subconscious lack of support by buying this book for your favorite STEM professor or manager!Bush covers the stimulus response theory, in which STEM women are put down so often that it can lead to negative conditioning and focusing on your weaknesses. Instead, she recommends building on talents, knowledge and skills to become a force for innovation. Find mentors and learn from them how to find and pursue real opportunity.Bush encourages STEM women not to give up too soon, pull yourself together,develop positive self-regulating behaviors, and "Get out of your own way!" She provides practical lists, references, and guidance to do just that.Finally, Bush covers a weird observation that most STEM women make early on. The few women who do make it often do NOT support those struggling valiantly to do so, but more often tear them down or support men for hire, promotion, mentoring, and advising instead! We need to all become "rainmakers" making opportunities for ALL who need our support, as improving diversity will lift us all, while increasing innovation and U.S. competitiveness.
As a former engineer, I wish this book was there for me. Thank you for this book, giving hope to others who have struggled with the glass ceiling.
