Career Guide for Women in Science

1. The Career Guide for Women in Science was borne out of a Conference for Women in Science held at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, and published in 1988. Although it is now 30 years old, sadly little has changed and much of what is in the Guide is still relevant and useful.

I thank Dr. Michael K. Durand, Professor of Physics at California State University-Dominguez Hills for sending me a copy of this Guide.

2. An uplifting read about women entrepreneurs in tech is the book Geek Girl Rising: Inside the Sisterhood Shaking Up Tech by Heather Cabot and Samantha Walravens. It is chock full of advice, inspirations and stories from women at the front lines of tech- entrepreneurs, engineers and investors. I highly recommend this book! To learn more about the book and purchasing links, go to: https://geekgirlrising.com/
