The Web site iWASwondering.org is a project of the National Academy of Sciences intended to showcase the accomplishments of contemporary women in science and to highlight for young people the varied and intriguing careers of some of today's most prominent scientists. The site draws from and accompanies the publication of a ten-volume series of biographies entitled Women's Adventures in Science, co-published by the Joseph Henry Press (an imprint of the National Academies Press) and Scholastic Library Publishing.

"The audio stories featured in the four radio series on this website were originally produced for radio broadcast as part of a national effort to increase the role of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics by encouraging young girls and women to pursue educational paths and careers in these fields. These stories can be used as a resource for students, teachers, parents, guidance counselors, organizational leaders, researchers, professors-anyone who wants to help girls and young women achieve the dream of a career in science and technology."
