This is intended for millennial women, teenage girls, and people who are LGBTQI and non-binary, showcasing an exciting array of entrepreneurial go-getters who challenge the status quo. It will introduce readers to some brilliant minds and destroy the perception that science is best left to boys. The takeaway from this book Each chapter in this book examines a different world problem, from climate change to the future of work, and introduces the female scientist who are working on solutions. You’ll learn how they got to where they are, and what challenges they faced and overcame along the way. It provides an overview of some of the coolest and most exciting science and technology projects happening today — all pioneered by badass, diverse, and queer women who challenged the status quo. They saw problems that needed solving, and wouldn’t take no for an answer. You’ll learn the fascinating, complicated stories of how this diverse group of women got started — from the perspective of those still working it out as they go along. Forget the ivory tower of accomplishment, learn about the everyday drama, tears, and adventures these badass ladies face as they race to fix everything the men f**d up. This book isn’t going to turn you into a scientist. It won’t make you the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or Sheryl Sandberg or Greta Thunberg But it will show you that way more women that you thought are working in these fields, and that they’re involved in awesome and incredible projects — some which seem like they’re lifted straight from Hogwarts. #slay #blackgirlmagic. In the words of Beyoncé, “Who runs the world? Girls! Girls!”
