Who Said She Can't? by Rashmi Bansal

"To boldly go where no woman had gone before—discover the inspiring, trailblazing stories of Indian women in STEM who broke barriers and redefined success!"

In Who Said She Can't?, bestselling author Rashmi Bansal presents the extraordinary journeys of the women of IIT Bombay's "Gen Zero"—the pioneers of the '70s, '80s, and '90s who stepped into the overwhelmingly male-dominated world of science, technology, and engineering.

Bright, ambitious, and resolute, these women asked for no special favors. Facing the unique pressures of being the "only girl in class," they formed deep bonds, survived campus challenges, and went on to thrive as industry leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, and change-makers across the globe. Through intimate, in-depth one-on-one conversations, Rashmi Bansal documents their lives from their college days to their impressive professional trajectories and personal victories.

Packed with wisdom on career growth, resilience, work-life balance, and ambition, Who Said She Can't? stands as a landmark tribute to female pioneers in STEM. It is an uplifting, empowering guide that serves as an essential roadmap for young aspirants, parents, and educators alike.
