This collection of peer-reviewed articles is a keeper for me. Admittedly, in my research focus area, nonetheless, as a women engineer most of my working life, educator and doctoral student now, the many and varied viewpoints in this book are informative and thought provoking. Well written, solid documentation and empirical research behind each article, and an interesting wrap-up chapter, made this a book I've read multiple times.

Each time I find new information: about gender differences in biology, SAT tests, psychological influences, current and past research, and much more. The book stayed focused on the question as well. Some chapters, as one would expect, are better than others; but all are above average quality of content and writing.

Great reference book for researchers and thoughtful reading for any K-12 or post-secondary teacher, in particular, those who teach science, math, or engineering!
