From the reviews: "This book itself is a model of what it seeks to promote... by extending a welcome to the readers, speaking from authentic experience, and bringing 100% of themselves to the conversation about science education leadership." (Janice Koch, Hofstra University) "Very engaging and interesting. Well written and informative. I immediately wanted to send it to several of my younger (female) colleagues." (Susan Chaplin, University of St. Thomas)
