Abstract	This book provides an overview of the history and contributions of academic women in engineering and computer science, both within their own institutions, as well as at the national level, together with the current status of these women's accomplishments and both the challenges and opportunities for the future. The book first covers the history of women in engineering and computer science, including key shifts that opened the door for women students to these fields. It then looks at the role of professional organizations and affinity groups in helping advance women academic leaders in engineering and computer science. The contributors also discuss the history and perspectives of women in engineering and computer science who have served in institutional and national leadership roles. As an important part of the Women in Engineering and Science book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in academia, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure our future in engineering and computer science.
