"...ideal for people at an early stage of their career (typically the first five years) and, although written for women working in STEM, the majority of the material would be useful for men as well as those pursuing careers outside of STEM." - 5 Stars --The Chemical Engineer
"...contains some very useful information, especially for PhD students, postdocs and early career scientists intending to continue in academe." --Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Canada
"This book is extremely useful and is strongly recommended. I suggest that all young academics and STEM professionals should have this book as a reference to use as they embark on their careers." --South African Journal of Science
"Speaking from a decade of research experience in science, this is an important book.does a good job of covering the many facets of a successful career in STEM...Women at all stages of their career will find something useful...an encouraging and inspirational book." --Universe Today
"...we need women to fully participate in this industry...morally and ethically, it's simply the right thing to do. This book will undoubtedly help." --Network Security
"I think most scientists at early stages in their careers would find this book extraordinarily useful, and many scientists at later stages would benefit enormously from the advice as well. .one of the strengths of this book is the array of perspectives provided by the diverse collection of authors. .This book is both introspective and inspirational, driving readers to examine their own values and goals but providing ample illustrations of successful women scientists. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on self-awareness and the understanding that every scientist has their own path to follow; that no one sets of rules applies to everyone. Although the book is primarily meant for beginning scientists, it will be valuable to many women (and men) at various stages of their careers. I wish I had such a resource at the outset of my own scientific life.--Ann M. Flower, University of North Dakota School of Medicine for MICROBE (2006) ".aimed at women embarking on a career in science or in their final years of training for such a role. The prologue is quite inspiring and so are the women profiled..." --Chemistry Word, 2006 "...this book contains useful advice for women and men at all stages of their careers." --Journal of Chemical Education, 2006 "...valuable career guide which is relevant not only to scientists and academics but also women in other fields. Their enthusiasm, commitment, courage and willingness to share their experiences are what makes this book so readable. Full of useful tips and advice, it also provokes thoughtful reflection while providing inspiration and encouragement through the distillation of their insights and advice. As its title suggest, this guide is a book to be dipped into again and again as women face different transition points and its structured approach and excellent index makes it easy to find the relevant sections." --Margaret Dane, Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services, CEO (2006)
"One of the key strengths of the book is that each chapter stands on its own and can be read separately... I highly recommend the book to young female scientists, in particular those in academia. It is well written and covers all critical topics on how to manage your career."--The Leading Edge
"...provides broad, general information on common experiences that the reader will be familiar with but had not perceived as 'significant' in their efforts toward success... I highly recommend this book to early-career female professionals in the STEM fields..."--The Leading Edge
