This book describes the origins and evolution of Canada's 30-year Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Chairs for Women in Science and Engineering Program. The book starts literally with a bang, right as Montreal and all of Canada were rocked by the 1989 Ecole Polytechnique Massacre of 14 women, describing how the Chair program took on a frenetic pace as a single Chairholder, Monique Frize, tried to respond to an entire country's concerns about women in engineering, both as students and as professionals. The authors first cover the program from 1989 through 1997, when the program was expanded to five regional Chairs, of which there have been over three generations by now. The book then provides synopses of each Chairholder's comprehensive regional program to recruit, retain and advance girls and women in STEM, organized by generation, providing a unique historical view of the changing landscape for research and outreach programs to increase the participation of women in male-dominated scientific fields. Readers will find an effective model for national programs addressing equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM and be inspired by the 16 strong role models who pioneered blended careers in STEM and gender equity advocacy.

本書描述了加拿大30年來自然科學和工程研究委員會（Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council）為女性在科學和工程領域設立的主席計劃的起源和演變。書籍從1989年蒙特利爾和整個加拿大被14名女性的1989年Polytechnique學院大屠殺震撼的那一刻開始，描述了主席計劃如何以瘋狂的節奏進行，單一主席持有人Monique Frize試圖回應整個國家對工程領域中女性的關注，無論是作為學生還是專業人士。作者首先介紹了1989年至1997年的計劃，當時該計劃擴展到了五個地區主席，到現在已經有三代人了。然後，書籍提供了每位主席持有人的綜合地區計劃摘要，以招募、留住和提升在STEM領域的女孩和女性為目標，按照世代進行組織，提供了一個獨特的歷史視角，觀察男性主導的科學領域中研究和外展計劃的變化。讀者將找到一個有效的模型，用於解決STEM領域中的平等、多樣性和包容性問題的國家計劃，並受到16位在STEM領域和性別平等倡導方面開創了融合職業的堅強榜樣的啟發。
