  abstract: As a newly minted PhD in medical geography, Kirsty Duncan led an international expedition to remote Svalbard, Norway to search for the cause of the deadly 1918 influenza. What should have been a rewarding intellectual adventure turned out to be an unwanted baptism into the unbridled sexism and privilege of the scientific community. Ever since, she has devoted herself to the support of girls and women in scientific endeavors. While women have come a long way in science, there is still far to go. They remain under-represented, under-paid, under-published and under the shadows of male scientists who are assumed, without evidence, to have innate capacities that women lack. Duncan identifies systemic biases in the assessment of girls' abilities and the teaching of science in the home, the classroom, our communities and professional life. She makes a powerful argument for cultural and institutional change to ensure girls and women their rightful place in the scientific community. This book is for readers of Melinda Gates's The Moment of Lift, Caroline Criado Perez's Invisible Women and Margot Lee Shetterly's Hidden Figures.
