Blazing the Trail

Blazing the Trail: Essays by Leading Women in Science

2.5 stars. Maybe it's because I went in expecting essays from all kinds of scientists, but it was all physicists. Many of the essays were fine and some offered some good advice, but most were just ok. Also, most of the women were very old, which is disappointing if you're a scientist under 40 looking for something a little more relatable. Those stories definitely have their value, but overall I did not enjoy reading this book.
