Got two copies! One for myself and one for a recent grad. She loves the book. The stories are inspiring- they are about women you don’t normally hear about!

Goes beyond known, black, women-in-STEM figures to showcase multitudes of inspiring lives

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2020

This is such an inspiring book. Tonya Bolden goes beyond the known black, women-in-STEM role models to show the multitudes of black women working in science, technology, engineering, and math for more than 150 years. You may know mathematician Katherine Johnson, who helped put Alan Shepherd in orbit. But what about her college professor, Dr. Angie Lena Turner King, associate professor of mathematics and chemistry at now-West Virginia University, who taught Johnson? You may know Bessie Coleman, the first American African-American woman to get a pilot's license (in France). But what about Willa Beatrice Brown, the first to get a pilot's license on U.S. soil. She then co-founded the National Airmen Association of America to inspire black aviators? Bolden has arranged her book into broad time periods -- before the first wave of women's suffrage, after women's suffrage (1920), and then the Civil Rights/second-wave feminism period. She provides a brief introduction to the era for each. The bite-sized biographies of each woman, make this an enjoyable read.

Empowering for all

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2020

Changing the Equation is a fantastic book for middle-graders. Though it features black women in STEM, girls of all races will be inspired by these women’s accomplishments. Each chapter is fascinating. And the setup allows for jumping around as well as reading front-to-back.

*Review based on advanced copy.

It was great to know the history of some very impressive Black Women in STEM who were revolutionary in their own unique way.
