Girl's rule, YAH!!!
The world's youngest professor is a Girl and she is from Iran! Her name is Alia Sabur (born February 22, 1989 in New York City, New York)
Sabur became known after being accepted into graduate school at the age of 14. She had left public school in 4th grade, was admitted to State University of New York at Stony Brook at the age of 10 and graduated summa cum laude at 14. She also received a black belt in Tae Kwon Do at the age of 9.[citation needed]
After Stony Brook, Sabur attended Drexel University where she received her M.S. in 2006 and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Materials Science and Engineering. In 2007 she took a temporary position at Southern University in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.[2]
On 19 February 2008, the Guinness Book of World Records named Alia the World's Youngest Professor, a designation held by Colin Maclaurin since 1717, when he was appointed professor of mathematics at 19 years and 7 months of age.
You see there is tons of room and need for women in technology! I am so very passionate about this topic, that is why we started the series of books with Wiley titled "IT Girl's Guide to," to have books specifically targeted and written to help women grow in the technical fields. The technology industry would so very much benefit from a woman's perspective and thinking and women will benefit greatly by applying technology to ease the most common tasks and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues.
