In a world where STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields are often dominated by white men, the groundbreaking book "Changing The Equation: 50 US Black Women in STEM" shines a much-needed light on the remarkable achievements of African American women in these critical disciplines.
Edited by Dr. Tonya Myles, the book features in-depth profiles of 50 extraordinary women who have made significant contributions to their respective fields, from groundbreaking research to innovative product development. These women represent a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, but they are all united by their passion for STEM and their unwavering determination to overcome barriers.
Throughout the book, readers will encounter inspiring stories of women like:
- Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson, the first African American woman to earn a doctorate from MIT and the first woman to lead a major research university.
- Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African American woman astronaut, who traveled into space aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
- Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, a viral immunologist who played a key role in developing the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
"Changing The Equation" is more than just a collection of biographies; it is a powerful testament to the resilience, creativity, and brilliance of Black women in STEM. By highlighting their achievements, the book challenges stereotypes and biases, and it serves as a valuable resource for aspiring young scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.
