Abstract

This title focuses on contemporary women who have benefited from the Civil Rights Act and are now working as chemists or chemical engineers. It was produced by taking the oral history of women who are leaders in their field and who wanted to tell the world how they suceeded. It features 18 amazing women in this book and each of them has a claim to fame, despite hiding in plain sight. These women reveal the history of their lives from youth to adult. Overall, Jeannette Brown aims to inspire women and minorities to pursue careers in the sciences, as evidenced by the successful career paths of the women that came before them.
