"Dr. Charyton has done a great job bringing to light the tremendous contributions that women have made through expressed creativity in the world of science. She elucidates the factors that have inspired many , while at the same time citing numerous hurdles that many have overcome. Her use of interviews and historic case studies go far to clarify and inspire the reader. Her references to Ukrainian culture and its influence on women is particularly intriguing— especially given todays contentious political landscape. This book is extremely readable and timely and telegraphs bright horizons for today’s women and girls."

-Dr. Marjorie Delbello

"Charyton has written a book that gives voice to, and awareness of, an historically neglected group: creative women scientists. Women in science, especially the physical sciences, have been and still are an underrepresented group. Creative women scientists even more so. Charyton reviews numerous case studies, some of whom are well known (Grandin, Curie, and Dounda), but many of whom are not. In essence, she makes clear that the creative process is the same in men and women, but women’s achievements have been less appreciated, including by the Nobel Prize committee. Moreover, she reviews one of the contributions she is best known for the Creative Engineering Design Assessment (CEDA), a novel assessment technique in its own right. Finally, as an Ukrainian-American, Charyton does something truly unique: examines the scientific and engineering contributions of five, as she puts it, “Ukrainian Cossack Warrior Women.” Her book is also at times a rather personal history, with her own work as well as her mother’s work at NASA and UNIVAC being reviewed. In short, Charyton’s book helps fill in a large and inexcusable gap in the creativity literature: the contributions of creative women scientists."

– Enola Newman, Journalist’s Tribune

" In 'Creative Engineering Design Assessment,' Charyton's expertise shines, making complex concepts accessible and sparking innovation in engineers. "
