Through this inspiring and painfully real account of challenge and triumph, Dr. Pamela McCauley Bush shares her story that is guaranteed to encourage and uplift any reader. This is no "rags to riches" tale but a moving account of her experiences in going from an insecure teen mother, abused wife, welfare recipient and struggling engineering student to successfully completing her engineering degree and winning one of the largest National Science Foundation graduate fellowships in the history of the University of Oklahoma. This book has "motivation and inspiration leaping from the pages" and will encourage anyone doubting whether or not they can really make their dreams come true.

She is the author of over 80 technical papers, book chapters, conference proceedings and the internationally best-selling ergonomics textbook; Ergonomics: Foundational Principles, Applications, and Technologies. Many of her leadership, diversity, innovation and STEM education related talks draw from her research-based book Transforming Your STEM Career Through Leadership and Innovation: Inspiration and Strategies for Women as well as her personal story; Winners Don't Quit . . . Today They Call Me Doctor.
From MORE Magazine Feature Feb 2016:
"When McCauley gave birth to a daughter at 15, she was told by a public assistance/welfare counselor that she was fated to be "just another statistic." But by age 29 she had earned her Ph.D. in engineering - the first African-American woman to do so in the state of Oklahoma. Having taught aeronautics and astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she is now a tenured professor and biomechanics and ergonomics expert at the University of Central Florida. According to the National Science Foundation, of the 9,489 doctorates awarded in engineering in 2013, only 0.7% went to African-American women - leading McCauley to joke that she did become a statistic after all."
