We tell girls that they can be any­thing, so why do 90 per­cent of Amer­i­cans believe that genius­es are almost always men? The New York Times best­selling jour­nal­ist Jan­ice Kaplan explores the pow­er­ful forces that have rigged the sys­tem — and cel­e­brates the women genius­es past and present who have tri­umphed any­way.  Through inter­views with neu­ro­sci­en­tists, psy­chol­o­gists, and dozens of women genius­es at work in the world today — includ­ing Nobel Prize win­ner Frances Arnold and AI expert Fei-Fei Li — she proves that genius isn’t just about tal­ent. It’s about hav­ing that tal­ent rec­og­nized, nur­tured, and cel­e­brat­ed. In The Genius of Women, you’ll learn how they ignored obsta­cles and broke down seem­ing­ly unshak­able bar­ri­ers.
