Description
by Monique Frize (Author)
Her goal: to become a world-renowned biomedical engineer. working with scientific societies to improve the role of women in scientific fields and the way scientists and engineers integrate people and society into their work. By 1979, this goal had become a reality.
In her memoirs, acclaimed biomedical engineer Monique Frize, recalls the events in her life that taught her to overcome obstacles, become more resilient, to recognize the importance of mentors and role models and remain focused on the future, to recognize the critical role played by family and friends in maintaining the strength and determination required to succeed. And to succeeding in a man's world.
Frize fondly remembers her youth in Montreal and in Ottawa, including her marked interest for math and science. Her entry into the world of engineering was both romantic - she met her husband - and tragic. She faced prejudice and stereotypes, which she ultimately overcame. She reconciled family and work life, pursuing a challenging and rewarding international career in a very specialized field at a time when this was still very uncommon for a woman. And she relives the tragic Polytechnique massacre.
These memoirs are sure to inspire young women who have a dream, and more specifically those who wish to enter sciences and engineering.
