Sections of the book include The Mathematics of You, Shape Up!, Party Math, and Math to the Rescue. It has specific problems and puzzles relating to real life math and you even get to meet women who use math in their careers. Pretty cool.It appears that there is a Science Book for Girls and Technology for Girls Book if you enjoy this one.
You can find The Math Book for Girls at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Or maybe it will catch you by surprise at a used book sale!

As a college student I used this as a topic for a paper in my Educational Psychology class. I had planned on being a high school math teacher until I realized I was scared of teenagers! Anyway, I had noticed there were only 2 other girls/women in my upper level math classes, and I think the main reason I picked math as a major was because of that. If "girls couldn't do math" I wanted to be one to prove them wrong :-)
I love your blog Especially all the tips and ideas.
