A volume in Research on Women and Education (RWE)Series Editors Beverly Irby, Sam Houston State Universityand Janice Koch, Hofstra UniversityEncouraging the participation of girls and women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) remains as vital todayas it was in the 1970s. ... hence, the sub-title: 'A Never Ending Story.' This volume is about ongoing advocacy on behalf of the futureworkforce in fields that lie on the cutting edge of society’s future. Acknowledging that deeply embedded beliefs about social andacademic entitlement take generations to overcome, the editors of this volume forge forward in the knowledge that these chapters willresonate with readers and that those in positions of access will learn more about how to provide opportunities for girls and women thatpropel them into STEM fields. This volume will give the reader insight into what works and what does not work for providing themessage to girls and women that indeed STEM fields are for them in this second decade of the 21st century. Contributions to thisvolume will connect to readers at all levels of STEM education and workforce participation. Courses that address teaching and learningin STEM fields as well as courses in women’s studies and the sociology of education will be enhanced by accessing this volume.Further, students and scholars in STEM fields will identify with the success stories related in some of these chapters and find inspirationin the ways their own journeys are reflected by this volume.
