This is not your typical women in engineering book. This book won't tell you how to get the corner office or break through the glass ceiling. It offers no uplifting advice on how to succeed as a woman engineer. Why read it? It's a surprise. This book covers topics that successful women aren't talking about but happen to real, everyday working women engineers. Newspapers and technology experts are asking, "Why do women make up only 15% of the workforce in technology and engineering jobs?" Women have succeeded in most industries, but still not in the STEM fields. This is one woman's account of the difficulties she faced over 33 years as a computer software engineer. Women say that they are leaving the STEM disciplines because the work environment is hostile. What does that really mean? This book contains a number of stories from many companies in the industry that shed light on that. Decide for yourself whether there is an industry problem or just a problem with Sara.About the Author: Sara Bell has a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University and has worked for 33 years in senior engineering positions in companies across the U.S. She jointly holds a U.S. patent with another woman.
