You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to girls haven't improved in twenty years. The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it. Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering-where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields. Plus, girls are telling us they're eager for the kind of work engineering offers-yet we fail to help them connect the dots.

As a woman enjoying a career in STEM, author Julie Newman is committed to changing this. With extensive research and actionable steps, Pull Don't Push clarifies the challenges facing STEM outreach and will help you create a new framework for your efforts. Following the guidelines in this book could literally put a million women into STEM jobs within the next decade. Learn how to stop pushing girls away and instead pull them toward unexplored paths to fulfillment.

This book of poems is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a celebration of pride in words. Words that paint pictures, sing songs of pain and triumph, and share that glimpse of intimate thought. More than that, it demonstrates that hidden power so often unseen.

Disabled People haven't gone away, we are here, and continue to raise the standard, not just the flag of Disability Pride, but pride in being ourselves.
