Women in STEM are constantly facing new challenges every day. By sharing their stories and ways in which they have overcome these hurdles, they can help others to find the strength to continue in their field. The mix of authors from varying backgrounds all with the same passion; to encourage more women into STEM have placed their proverbial hearts on their sleeves and documented their journeys to assist readers to either enter or stay within STEM fields.

Empowering Women in STEM: Personal Stories and Career Journeys from Around the World discusses the application process of Root Cause Analysis and ways to introduce STEM to other generations. It offers an insider view of the armed forces and allows readers to gain more perspective on ways male advocates can help female colleagues in STEM fields.
