Description
The digital divide in the STEM fields affects black women and girls disproportionately. In 2019, only 28% of the STEM workforce was female, and only 3% was black. This disparity has severe consequences, including limited access to quality education and higher rates of workplace discrimination and harassment. As a result, black women and girls are less likely to secure STEM jobs and leave them early. The lack of black women in STEM fields has far-reaching implications for society. A book that challenges the status quo and promotes change is needed. "SHE, DISRUPTS" is a book that will change the way the industry thinks about itself. By shedding light on the digital divide and its consequences, this book aims to spark a necessary conversation about the need for greater diversity and inclusion in the STEM fields.
