Changing Our World: True Stories of Women Engineers

Excellent book. Packed full with interesting historical and current information about women in engineering. An excellent source for a History of Women class. A tribute to the contributions American women have made including 26 astronauts who were engineers. Photos are great.

Excellent Book!

This book gives insight into how engineering affects our daily life. It also is inspiring to read how real women developed their passion into careers. Great gift for young adults.

All Engineers Would Be Proud

This gorgeously created and illustrated 'coffee table' book is one I've recommended to all my woman engineer friends. Also useful for Guidance Counselors, parents of young girls, (actually, my nephew admits to paging through it too!) and anyone who is interested in what engineers really do. The fact that it highlights women is great for us women, but don't let it mislead you. The information, the ideas, the extremely well-written text (plainspeak, hurray!) will inspire anyone male or female who enjoys the business of 'solving problems'.

Changing Our World

Many people may not realize it, but engineers' work touches nearly every aspect of our lives. This full-color account celebrates the lives of more than 200 women involved in all disciplines of engineering from aerospace to agriculture, and entertainment to environment. Fourteen inspiring chapters introduce these women of science and their journeys into once male-dominated professions, chronicling their success stories. The final chapter challenges young women to "follow their hearts" and consider a career in engineering. The book features an index of women profiled who have truly "changed our world."
