Summary:

"This book investigates the various reasons why women are lagging in innovation and provides realistic strategies for women to improve their impact in innovation. Although there have been significant strides in women serving in STEM positions and in STEM careers, women are still not contributing to the world of innovation and commercialization at the same rate as men. Of all awarded patents, women represent only 18% of the primary patent holders, and this book explores reasons why women are not submitting patents at the same rate as their male peers and identifies strategies for advancing women innovators. The author’s own experience with the patenting process and participating in regional and national panels to discuss this disparity in women innovators is reflected. Readers will benefit from insights as to why women may not be coming forward with innovative ideas as well as perspectives on a robust and innovative approach for problem solving that lead to patents and innovation"-- Springer Nature Link
