Last week on Facebook you may have seen the fabulous story we posted about the 17-year-old SheHero, Angela Zhang, who created a Nanoparticle that kills cancer. That’s right, kills cancer. Zhang’s project “Design of Image-guided, Photo-thermal Controlled Drug Releasing Multifunctional Nanosystem for the Treatment of Cancer Stem Cells” will not only save countless lives but […]
Science, Technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are all industries that are vital to our civilization. And the need for more women in all of these fields is by no means a new need or desire. The things women bring to the table are invaluable and it’s no wonder that so many orgs like SheHeroes are […]
Though we may do our best to expose our SheHeroes and Heroes to inspiring images, gender barrier busting SheHeroes from history and anything that may help them strive to be more than what the media says they can be, sometimes the best sources of inspiration come from out of nowhere.

I came across a disturbing study recently regarding the link between women, romance and fields underneath the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). According to the University of Buffalo study, “When a woman's goal is to be romantically desirable, she distances herself from academic majors and activities related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).” […]
An area in Illinois known as Elgin is moving forward with a pilot program that help more girls pursue interests in the fields Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The Science Technology, Engineering and Math Equity Academy, or STEM is being funded by a $50,000 grant from the Innovation Generation program through the Motorola Solutions […]
Sometimes when perusing the web for interesting articles and stories about SheHeroes around the world, I stumble upon someone who just sticks with me. The story of this ten-year-old girl was one those stories.
A lot of what we talk about here on the blog is the lack of girls pursuing careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). We are always excited to see new research or studies on the subject especially when they help pinpoint the answer as to exactly why girl’s interests in […]
It seems everywhere I turn lately I’m seeing more and more stories about the growing trend (or growing lack of depending on what article or blog post your reading) of single sex schools. Not super expensive prep schools, but public charter schools for only boys and only girls. Arguments for and against these schools make […]
We love showcasing SheHeroes all over the world, especially young SheHeroes! Four New Zealand girls have been working hard to come up with a solution to help save the honeybee.
