<br/><br/> "Today, women and girls in all walks of life are unleashing their curiosity and forging their own paths to discovery -- paths that zigzag and weave about freely, unbound, unhindered, limitless; paths that will prove the sky's the limit for possibility and discovery.  Upon reflection, it becomes clear that women's discoveries -- past and present -- have helped to define the very world in which we live.  These stories are a celebration of their journeys."
