By the time Dr Samantha Pillay finished her surgical training in 2001, only 4% of surgeons in Australia were female. Twenty years later, this had grown to 14%. Her drive to inspire young girls to break down barriers and challenge career gender stereotypes led to the International Amazon Best-Selling children's picture book series.
Book One: When I'm a Surgeon
Book Two: When I'm an Entrepreneur
Book Three: When I'm an Astronaut
Book Four: When I'm the President
Book Five: When I'm the Prime Minister
Each book has a companion colouring and activity book.
Dr Pillay continues to advocate to end career gender stereotypes, inspiring girls worldwide to dream big and aim high.
