About this ebook
An uproarious, inspiring, and thoroughly engaging memoir by the former Associate Dean at the University of Maryland School of Engineering. With a disarming charm coupled with a gritty determination, Dr. Marilyn Berman Pollans broke down barriers to opportunity and cracked through thick glass ceilings. Her pioneering efforts have resulted in a new generation of women entering the previously male-dominated field of engineering. This jocular and absorbing memoir recounts her struggles, her setbacks, and ultimately the victory of her indomitable spirit.
