“This book showcases the journey of remarkable women who dared to create an inclusive STEM ecosystem in India. It also highlights the need for a robust strategy to address the root causes of and solutions for gender imbalance in STEM, including the unconscious biases that women in science face.”

This book celebrates gender, leadership, and sustainable development in the fields of STEAM.
It seeks to make women in the fields of STEAM more visible, celebrate their significant contributions, and acknowledge their journeys which are often fraught with challenges that are gendered. The contribution of women to India’s independence and subsequent success and progress has often been underplayed and underestimated.
We wish to correct that.
