A necessary perspective on black women in science & innovation

Black women are rarely centred in narratives of scientific discovery and innovation. This volume actively dismantles that erasure by highlighting the brilliance, perseverance, and ingenuity of specific Black women who have shaped our world. The edition provides relatable and tangible role models, who I hope will continue to inspire women in general, but young black women in particular.
