Description & Coverage
Description:

A persistent challenge infects the vast setting of academic pursuits; the enduring gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Despite incremental progress, women continue to face formidable obstacles, ranging from entrenched stereotypes to institutional oversights. The urgency of addressing this issue cannot be overstated, as evidenced by UNESCO's revelation that less than 30% of the world's researchers and scientists are women. Exploring Intersectionality and Women in STEM seizes this pivotal moment, unraveling the complexities of the gender gap in STEM and daring to propose transformative solutions.

As we delve into the significant part, we uncover multifaceted challenges hindering women's advancement in STEM. Exploring Intersectionality and Women in STEM exposes the stark realities of gender biases in education, workplace dynamics, and societal expectations. The call to action is clear: we must confront gender stereotypes and reevaluate institutional mechanisms with a keen gender perspective. This book does not merely diagnose the problem; it catalyzes change, offering a compelling roadmap to overcome obstacles and empower women in STEM.

This book is not just an analysis of disparities; it is a dynamic and initiative-taking guide for researchers, STEM students, and practitioners. By immersing oneself in its pages, the reader becomes an agent of change, armed with insights into life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and health sciences. Through a transdisciplinary lens, the book illuminates a path toward a more inclusive and equitable future.
