About the Book
After reading the children’s science books targeted to young girls, my 10-year-old and I were frustrated. Most of the women in the books were dead, so their stories were written by someone else, and the books were illustrated. Books of substance about modern scientists contemporary female STEM role models do not exist. A reviewer of a competitive book remarked: “If someone has a recommendation for a good book about women scientists, I’d love to hear it…” This book is the solution.
Twenty-seven inspiring women in STEM books and leaders from around the world come together to tell their original, passionate stories describing their perseverance, spirit, brilliance, and personal growth through words and photographs. Sadly, books about modern scientists women in science for young girls are history books. Determined to be Extraordinary will motivate young girls to pursue STEM careers by presenting contemporary, real-life examples of successful and inspiring women in STEM books. The role models they are looking for are right here, right now!
Representation matters. Cultural stereotypes can discourage girls from considering STEM fields as viable career paths. Seeing successful and inspiring women in STEM books fields can inspire and motivate young girls to pursue STEM careers. When they see someone who looks like them achieving greatness, it reinforces the belief that they can do it, too. ‘Determined to be Extraordinary’ isn’t just a book – it’s an invitation. An invitation to be inspired, to dream bigger, and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the phenomenal women shaping our future.
