As STEM continues to advance and shape our understanding of our world, so, too, are women who are taking charge and using research and new approaches to achieve more than they imagined. Women and GIS: Stars of Spatial Science, the second volume in the Women and GIS series, tells the stories of how thirty diverse women in STEM applied themselves and overcame obstacles and life's challenges using a combination of maps, analysis, and geographic information systems (GIS). From planetary scientists to civil engineers and from entrepreneurs to urban planners, the strong, passionate women in this volume of Women and GIS: Stars of Spatial Science serve as mentors to motivate readers who are developing their own life stories and inspire their potential in a new way. By reading the stories in this book, young women might be better able to chart their own futures.
