Zara Stone’s engaging narrative does just that by introducing readers to brilliant but relatable female role models who are using science to positively change our world. ─Colleen Russo Johnson, PhD and Chief Scientist for Dream Studios Inc.As Geena Davis says, ‘If she can see it, she can be it.’ By focusing on women working to change the current world, Zara Stone has created an important book. The Future of Science is Female will serve as inspiration- not only to young girls needing role models in science and technology, but to anyone who refuses to let society dictate what they ‘should’ be doing.
