They were exceptional, not because they could succeed at science but because of all they accomplished despite the hurdles.<br/><br/>“Gripping…one puts down the book inspired by the women’s grit, tenacity, and brilliance.” —Science<br/>“Riveting.” —Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene<br/><br/>In 1963, a female student was attending a lecture given by Nobel Prize winner James Watson, then tenured at Harvard. At nineteen, she was struggling to define her future. She had given herself just ten years to fulfill her professional ambitions before starting the family she was expected to have. For women at that time, a future on the usual path of academic science was unimaginable—but during that lecture, young Nancy Hopkins fell in love with the promise of genetics. Confidently believing science to be a pure meritocracy, she embarked on a career. |
