Debbie, a female in the male-dominated world of engineering, was bothered by the lack of women in her field. So she decided to do something so wonderful for little girls everywhere, it brought tears to my eyes (don't judge me).


How wonderful was Debbie’s idea? It got funded in five days, along with the next two books in the series! If I ever have a little girl (and finally make my mother a happy grandma) I’m putting GoldieBlox in her crib.
