Sadly, books about modern women in science for young girls are history books. 'Determined to be Extraordinary' will motivate young girls to pursue STEM careers by presenting contemporary, real-life examples of successful women in STEM books. The role models they are looking for are right here, right now!'Representation matters. Cultural stereotypes can discourage girls from considering STEM fields as viable career paths.

When they see someone who looks like them achieving greatness, it reinforces the belief that they can do it, too. 'Determined to be Extraordinary' isn't just a book - it's an invitation. An invitation to be inspired, to dream bigger, and to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the phenomenal women shaping our future.…
