[UWAB] Book recommendation from Kate

[gth828t@mail.gatech.edu]

I wish I got this emaila about a week or two ago. I wrote a paper in my 4001
class about getting more women involved in science and technology. it would
have been of great help, but I'll definetly check it out since I'm personnaly
interested in the topic :) now that I know more about it.

Thanks for sharing :)
