If you’re not familiar with it, a few words about a topic that comes up

quite a bit in the book: Title IX is a US federal law that prohibits any kind
of discrimination on the basis of gender in all institutions that receive
federal funding (i.e., most universities). It legally compels schools to

respond to and remedy situations of misconduct ranging from hostile work
environments to harassment and assault. Covered schools have Title IX

coordinators, whose job is to handle complaints and violations and to
educate an institution’s community about their rights. Title IX has been and

currently is critical to guarantee equal access to education and to protect
students and employees against gender-based discrimination.

Lastly: the women in STEM organizations Anh mentions in the book are
fictionalized, but most universities host chapters of similar organizations.
