Connecting Women’s History and Reading Month

Anytime of the year is a good time to honor people of color and their achievements. With March designated as both Women’s History and Reading months, I decided to select a book that definitely honors both. Tonya Bolden’s Changing the Equation 50th US Black Women in STEM is an excellent read and a great introduction to African American pioneers in the STEM professions. From Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first woman to earn her MD in 1864, to contemporaries like Kimberly Bryant, founder of Black Girls Code, the women included in this book have paved the way for more young women to claim a spot in the STEM profession. Award-winning Tonya Bolden is a both a thorough researcher, using primary and secondary sources. and a skilled storyteller, writing these women biographies in a concise, warm, and easy to read style.
