Why? Media images girls see of women STEM professionals shape their views of who belongs in STEM.
Why? Media images girls see of women scientists, engineers, and computer scientists serve as important "vicarious role models" when face-to-face interaction with women STEM professionals is lacking.
Why? Media images girls see of women STEM professionals challenge and change gender stereotyped views of STEM professionals that may keep girls from taking STEM classes and pursuing other STEM opportunities.
Why? Media images girls see of women STEM professionals shape their wishful identification, or wanting to be like STEM professionals, and their STEM identity -- important precursors for STEM interest and engagement.
Why? Media images girls see of women as scientists, engineers, and computer scientists can influence their interest in pursuing STEM careers.
