In addition, the book provides a backdrop of the cultural and technical advances that led up to the time they were recognized. The book includes inspiring stories of their engineering career achievements and the legacies of how these women made a difference in the world. Set against a backdrop of important cultural and technology milestones, each chapter stands on its own as a complete story of a specific legendary engineer. Viewed as a group, these 25 technological luminaries provide an important perspective about women in the engineering and computer science fields. Each section represents a five-year increment, beginning with a setting-the-stage discussion, followed by the stories of the five engineers who were recognized during those years, which can also be read independently. Highlights: 25 women recognized by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) for their significant contributions to engineering; Includes the context for each achievement and the technological advancements that were occurring; Includes inspiring stories of women engineers, the achievements they made, and how they made a difference in the world. | ||
