THE GENIUS OF WOMEN - JANICE KAPLAN KARTONIERT ...

We tell girls that they can be anything  so why do 90 percent of Americans believe that
geniuses are almost always men? New York Times bestselling journalist and creator and host of
the podcast The Gratitude Diaries Janice Kaplan explores the powerful forces that have rigged
the system and celebrates the women geniuses  past and present  who have triumphed anyway. Even
in this time of rethinking women s roles  we define genius almost exclusively through male
achievement. When asked to name a genius  people mention Albert Einstein  Leonardo da Vinci 
and Steve Jobs. As for great women? In one survey  the only female genius anyone listed was
Marie Curie. Janice Kaplan  the New York Times bestselling author of The Gratitude Diaries  set
out to determine why the extraordinary work of so many women has been brushed aside. Using her
unique mix of memoir  narrative  and inspiration  she makes surprising discoveries about women
geniuses now and throughout history  in fields from music to robotics. 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.
Across the generations  even when they face less-than-perfect circumstances  women geniuses
have created brilliant and original work. In The Genius of Women  you ll learn how they ignored
obstacles and broke down seemingly unshakable barriers. The geniuses in this moving  powerful 
and very entertaining book provide more than inspiration they offer a clear blueprint to
everyone who wants to find her own path and move forward with passion.
