- Summary:
- Recent scholarship has done much to document the experiences of women in science, but there has been little comparable research on Black Americans' experiences and contributions and even less on Black women scientists. The hardships that Black scientists face are discussed more often than their successes and participation. This volume seeks to foster awareness of the participation of women minorities in the sciences and their contributions to the history of science in America. The biographical sketches examine the lives and career paths of more than 100 Black women scientists.
