Review\nWomen and the Challenge of STEM Professions: Thriving in a Chilly Climate is a must have for women, particularly women of color, who are in –or considering a career in―the sciences. Arredondo, Miville, Capodilupo and Vera have put together a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the landscape for women in STEM careers. The best part, though, is that they also talk about best practices for women on how to thrive in those environments, including chapters on how to find support, how to self-advocate, how to resist structural barriers. But, because they take a structural approach, they also end with recommendations for leaders in the academy to retain women in STEM departments. I most highly recommend it.

It’s about all of us and for all of us! Science is advanced to the benefit of everyone as a result of diverse perspectives and approaches to discovery that emanate though the lens of women of diverse ethnic and racial cultural traditions. This is more than about social justice - it is a required attribute in the continuous quest for TRUTH! 
Orlando L. Taylor, PhDDistinguished Senior Advisor to the PresidentExecutive Director & Co-PI, Center for the Advancement of STEM LeadershipFielding Graduate University\nMany women of color have been in the trenches for decades in the movement toward greater representation and inclusion in the sciences. They have managed uncharted terrains without guides (e.g., colleagues), maps (e.g., frameworks, guidelines), or even adequate gear (e.g., words, concepts, and constructs). Their persistence uncovered valuable insights into how to find and build spaces to thrive. This book centers the voices of scientists, whose experiences as women of color in science fields lends a unique understanding of the enterprise of knowledge production. Their stories provide warmth and protection in an otherwise chilly climate for future generations of scientists. Melanie Domenech-Rodríguez, PhDProfessor, Department of PsychologyUtah State University\nWomen and the Challenge of STEM Professions provides a thoughtful and refreshing view of the challenges for women leading in STEM. It offers compassionate insight into the difficulty and opportunity for women to remain in STEM and to be appreciated for their work as scientists. With historical perspective as well as real-world examples, the work is a fantastic reference for women who are aspiring, training for and enduring leadership in STEM disciplines, where women are not the dominant gender, and for men in STEM who are advocates and allies.
