A volume in Research on Women and EducationWomen of Color in STEM: Navigating the Workforce is an opportunity for making public the life storiesof women of color who have persevered in STEM workplace settings. The authors used various critical theories to situate and makevisible the lives of women of color in such disciplines and workplace contexts like mathematics, science, engineering, NASA,academia, government agencies, and others. They skillfully centered women and their experiences at the intersection of theiridentity dimensions of race, class, gender, and their respective discipline.While the disciplines and career contexts vary, the oppression, alienation, and social inequities were common realities for all.Despite the challenges, the women were resilient and persevered with tenacity, a strong sense of self as a person of color, andreliance on family, community, mentors, and spirituality. While we celebrated the successes, it is critical that organizational leaders,whether in education or other workplace settings, draw from narratives and counter‐narratives of these women to improve theorganizational climate where individuals can thrive, despite their racial, class and gender identity. This book will assist educationalcommunities, professional communities, and families to understand their roles andresponsibilities in increasing the number of women of color in STEM.
