To succeed in science and tech fields today, girls don't have to change who they are. A girl who combines her natural talents, interests, and dreams with STEM skills has a greater shot at a career she loves and a salary she deserves. The authors present compelling research in a conversational, accessible style and provide specific advice and takeaways for each stage of schooling from elementary school through college, followed by comprehensive STEM resources. This isn't a book about raising competitive, test-acing girls in lab coats: this is a book about raising happy, confident girls who realize that there's a world of opportunities ahead of them.

      Why do girls turn away from STEM subjects? Narrated by the positive-sounding Nan McNamara, this audiobook is a call to arms--and a valuable resource--for those who want to create inclusive academic and professional worlds for girls. How can parents and teachers encourage them to develop habits of mind foundational to success in all fields? How can we conceptualize STEM skills to include those associated with a wide set of talents? McNamara's narration is well paced and easy to listen to. She adds bright notes of possibility to what could sound daunting. The audiobook includes many lists and resources--a challenge that McNamara meets with a clear voice and varied pacing, keeping the material interesting. She also highlights occasional humorous moments. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
