Our Review
This research collection tackles one of the most persistent problems in modern workplaces: the systemic underrepresentation of women in engineering and computing fields. It frames gender inequality not as an unsolvable mystery, but as a complex challenge that can be addressed through focused research and innovative interventions, offering a roadmap for creating genuinely equitable organizations.
What makes this work stand out is its refusal to settle for surface-level explanations, instead digging into the psychological and structural barriers that perpetuate the gender gap in tech. Teen readers and young adults considering STEM careers will find a crucial, evidence-based perspective here, one that validates their experiences and equips them with the language to understand systemic bias. This is essential reading for anyone ready to move beyond simply identifying a problem and start building the solutions.
