505			_a"Her goal: to become a world-renowned biomedical engineer working with scientific societies to improve the role of women in scientific fields and the way scientists and engineers integrate people and society into their work. By 1979, this goal had become a reality.
505			_aIn her memoirs, esteemed biomedical engineer Monique Frize recalls the events that taught her to overcome obstacles, become more resilient, recognize the importance of mentors and role models, and remain focused on the future. She also speaks of her appreciation of the critical role played by family and friends in maintaining the strength and determination required to succeed — and, above all, to succeed in a man’s world.
505			_aFrize fondly remembers her youth in Montreal and in Ottawa, and her marked interest for math and science. Her entry into the world of engineering was both romantic — she met her husband — and tragic. She recounts the prejudice and stereotypes she faced. She pursued a challenging and rewarding international career in a very specialized field at a time when this was still very uncommon for a woman, acceding at the very moment of the tragic Polytechnique massacre to key positions in support of women in science.
505			_aThese memoirs are sure to inspire young women who have a dream, and more specifically those who wish to enter sciences and engineering." (Book Cover)
