A Lab of One's Own: One Woman's Personal Journey Through Sexism in Science

by Sharon Bertsch McGrayne and Rita Colwell

Book Overview

A "beautifully written" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) memoir-manifesto from the first female director of the National Science Foundation about the entrenched sexism in science, the elaborate detours women have take to bypass the problem, and how to fix the system.

If you think sexism thrives only on Wall Street or Hollywood, you haven't visited a lab, a science department, a research foundation, or a biotech firm.
