While the number of diverse books in STEM has been increasing slightly over time, there is still a dearth of books written about and authored by STEM professionals who hold marginalized identities. Even when these books do exist, they may be difficult to discover because library and other discovery systems have been designed primarily for a white, straight, cisgendered audience. On this page, you'll find a not-comprehensive selection of books on these topics available from our library.
