An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge
Headstrong
I'm looking for books for summer reading, and this one looked promising. However, out of the 52 women in the book only THREE (3) are women of color. Three? In a book of 52? That number is pathetic.
I did read the three profiles of Alice Ball, Jane Wright and Chien-Shiung Wu, and they were pretty interesting. On the whole the book seems like an invitation to seek out longer more in depth biographies on all these women who each no doubt deserve more than five pages apiece about their accomplishments and contributions to science.
