Women seeking successful careers in engineering, science, or technology must be prepared not only to work hard, but also to work smart. Williams and Emerson have gathered the best research in many different fields to present important, timely information, along with practical tips from women who are enjoying successful technical careers.
There are chapters appropriate for students, recent graduates, as well as women in mid-career. Written both to support career success and to encourage leadership development, this is a book to be referred to again and again.
