Julia's 'Break Free' is that story - a must-read for women in STEM and anyone seeking a fresh perspective on professional authenticity. Gibney seamlessly weaves personal anecdotes, insightful stories, and research to illuminate the transformative power of staying true to oneself in a world that often discourages it.
