Setting the Record Straight : The History and Evolution of Women's Professional Achievement in Engineering

Engineering is still predominantly a man's world. Women, however, have made significant inroads in the past few decades. From groundbreaking inventions to path-paving for other women, female engineers are dispelling stereotypes and misguided expectations about women's abilities in the field and in the office. Focusing on the engineering profession-its history as well as its unique obstacles-this well-researched book provides historical context as well as encouragement for would-be female engineers. The first in a series detailing the history and progress of women in the professions, this text will be followed by books covering academia, law, medicine, science and accounting.
