"You Want to be a Woman Marine Biologist - A marine biologist studies life in the sea, so if you love animals and nature, you'll love
playing around with this CD-ROM. Look at sea life, learn how to protect our environment, watch girls like you tell why they hope to be marine biologists, and hear a woman explain
how she became one. Perfect for science projects."
- May/June 1997 in the Roberta Banaszak Gleiter reviewed the CDROM for the Society of Women
Engineers. She says:
"The message is clear. Engineering is not only interesting buty challenging and rewarding, and girls should be encouraged to take advantage of
the fascinating opportunities it presents. I found this CD-ROM very enjoyable, expecially when I kept the age of the target audience in mind.
It's a delightful way to present engineering to bright, young, inquisitive young girls."

REVIEW ZONE Summarized below:
"If you're looking for an educational science CD-ROM for elementary-age (grades 3-6) girls,
look no further than You Can Be A Woman Marine Biologist. Vivid graphics and interesting
underwater photography and video combine with inspiring text. Included with the CD-ROM is a 38-page softcover book , You Can Be A Woman Marine Biologist.

- Troy Corley in March 1997 Family PC "The homegrown software from Cascade Pass is an offshoot of the You Can Be.. books
by Judith Love Cohen, an award-winning engineer, and her artist husband David Katz.
With wild '60s-style neon graphics and animation, along with NASA videos and photos,
You Can Be A Woman Engineer challenges girls to go beyond sugar and spice and into
science and space. The CD-ROM includes an animated narration of the book You Can Be A
Woman Engineer. Girls can take a tour of the solar system; view planets, galaxies, and
stars; and solve science-related crossword puzzles. In Conversations with the Author,
girls ask Cohen about her school and engineering experiences, which include work on
Apollo spacecraft systems and the Hubble Space Telescope."

- Tina Velgos review of "You Can Be A Woman Engineer" CD-ROM
REVIEW ZONE Summarized below:
"Wonderfully vivid graphics and highly informative You Can Be
A Woman Engineer CD-ROM (Win/Mac) guides elementary-age girls in
the right direction. That is, towards math and sciences, areas
that still are heavily male-oriented. Included with the software
is a soft cover book by the same name. An excellent value at
under $20, You Can Be A Woman Engineer is a 'must have' for
parents with young daughters."

"The theme of this program, like the book series is fabulous:
Girls can be anything they want to be. The books addressing various science careers help girls understand and are designed to spark interest in everything from Architecture to Zoology. The first CD-ROM attempts to do the same... the fact that such
encouraging words are there for her to consider a path not followed by women is worth a lot."
- December in the "Huntsville Times" by James McWilliams.
