- Description
- Black American women scientists tell about their youth, family, school, geography, that sheped their decisions to pursue science and of their experiences as 'students of science' in their climb throught the academic maze and their ongoing research interests. As professionals, they also discuss the impact that factors such as race and gender have had on their lives as women and as scientists: they also reveal the degree to which the civil rights movement and the women's rights movement played a role in their success.
