DIG Magazine, April 2018 Issue Architecture: Cool Women who Design Structures, by Elizabeth Schmermund, is another great addition to Nomad's Girls in Science series. Interesting to read, its text, sidebars, and ask/answer sections stimulate and challenge readers to think beyond the box. Definitely recommended! STEM Friday Blog Are you creative? Do you like solving problems? Architecture combines art and science - not only do you have to understand physics and engineering, but you get to design beautiful buildings. Or bridges... While the young women agree that the jobs they do are fun and challenging, they say that they are treated differently than men in the same position. They tend to be cut off when talking, or their proposals may not be taken seriously by their male colleagues. Still, they can't think of more fulfilling work. Their advice: study hard and try to get a mentor when you head into the working world.

Looking at the advances in technology and the contributions of women fills a hole in many classroom and school libraries searching for more nonfiction describing contributions of women and minorities to STEM. The book is aimed at the 'tween' reader (ages 9-12) when many students lose interest in reading because books often become dull with information being presented in textbook style. This book is anything but dull and definitely not 'textbooky'. . . -Booklist New SERIES NONFICTION SHOWCASE - . . . A worthy addition to STEM collections.
