The protagonist in every story [in the Rising Voices: Empowering Girls in STEAM Library] is a girl or a woman. I think that’s great, because it gives the girls a feeling of pride and it also encourages them in knowing that they can do any and everything . — Dr. Emma Epps, NABSEF Chair, retired Superintendent, Ecorse Public Schools, Ecorse, MI
