<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A volume in Research on Women and Education<br /> Women of Color in STEM: Navigating the Workforce is an opportunity for making public the life stories<br /> of women of color who have persevered in STEM workplace settings. The authors used various critical theories to situate and make<br /> visible the lives of women of color in such disciplines and workplace contexts like mathematics, science, engineering, NASA, <br /> academia, government agencies, and others. They skillfully centered women and their experiences at the intersection of their<br /> identity dimensions of race, class, gender, and their respective discipline.<br /> While the disciplines and career contexts vary, the oppression, alienation, and social inequities were common realities for all.<br /> Despite the challenges, the women were resilient and persevered with tenacity, a strong sense of self as a person of color, and<br /> reliance on family, community, mentors, and spirituality. While we celebrated the successes, it is critical that organizational leaders, <br /> whether in education or other workplace settings, draw from narratives and counter‐narratives of these women to improve the<br /> organizational climate where individuals can thrive, despite their racial, class and gender identity. This book will assist educational<br /> communities, professional communities, and families to understand their roles and<br /> responsibilities in increasing the number of women of color in STEM.</p>
