520    "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 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." --|cProvided by publisher.
