Are Women Human - no - not out of print - was just published in April 2006. see my previous message [387] oh, and thanks for the reminder -- I've been meaning to pass along this resource and keep forgetting (sorry, aging!) anyway - I really like this video/dvd series that comes with a printed curriculum and they have a specific one on Math for women which I think is quite good Women in Nontraditional Careers: An Introduction Video 15 minutes; $95.00 (with public performance rights); order #23001; ISBN #1-877933-68-6. Resource guide 114 pages, $45.00; order #23002; ISBN #1-877933-69-4. Highlights forty-six women from a wide variety of backgrounds, including welders, firefighters, construction workers, machinists, a helicopter pilot, a dump-truck driver, police officers, dentists, athletic coaches, a service mechanic, a mason, and a mold-making apprentice. Nontraditional careers are those in which women make up less than 25 percent of the workforce. The pay, benefits and job satisfaction can be much higher than in traditional female occupations.
