Paths to Discovery by Norma E Cantu

In Paths to Discovery a group of extraordinary Chicanas trace how their interest in math and science at a young age developed into a passion fed by talent and determination. Today they are teaching at major universities, setting public and institutional policy, and pursuing groundbreaking research. These testimonios—personal stories—will encourage young Chicanas to enter the fields of mathematics, science, and engineering and to create futures in classrooms, boardrooms, and laboratories across the nation.

"This remarkable collection allows us to follow the career paths of a group of trailblazing ChicanasTheir personal stories become even more important when we consider the need for greater participation of Chicanas in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics."
