But the team FORBES had come to see was busting that trend: The Fe Maidens--pronounced "Iron Maidens"--is one of two robotics teams from the Bronx High School of Science, a magnet school in New York City. It's made up of 42 girls. The only male members of the team are coaches and mentors. (The high school's other team is coed, and it's neck-and-neck with the Fe Maidens when it comes to competitive wins.)

This book provides tips and inspiration for young female innovators and entrepeneurs. The Fe Maidens are featured as a "boss," a successful female-run enterprise, and provide quotes and anecdotes to assist future female creators.

“They’re building robots and breaking gender stereotypes.”

“The Iron Maidens team reminds us that we can attain anything we put our minds to, with hard work and perseverance.”

“It’s an important life lesson…They had to fix and make changes on the fly…”

A six-part documentary series about the Iron Maidens produced by Killer Films. This documentary series launched Indie Lens Storycast, PBS' newest online channel.
