The Takeaway from This Book

Each chapter in this book examines a different world problem, from climate change to the future of work, and introduces the female scientists who are working on solutions. You’ll learn how they got to where they are and what challenges they faced and overcame along the way.

It provides an overview of some of the coolest and most exciting science and technology projects happening today—all pioneered by badass women who challenged the status quo. They saw problems that needed solving and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

You’ll learn the fascinating, complicated stories of how this diverse group of women got started—from the perspective of those still working it out as they go along. Forget the ivory tower of accomplishment; learn about the everyday drama, tears, and adventures these awesome ladies face as they race to fix everything that men f***ed up.

This book isn’t going to turn you into a scientist. It won’t make you the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or Sheryl Sandberg or Greta Thunberg. But it will show you that way more women than you thought are working in these fields and that they’re involved in awesome and incredible projects—some which seem like they’re lifted straight from Hogwarts. #slay #blackgirlmagic
