I have not yet had the opportunity to read it but I'm sure that men and women can learn much from those examples. It is amazing to see how much woman have 'evolved' in status through history.

It has so many great inspirational stories about women in science. I now look at the women I interact with in the lab and see within them the traits (good and bad) of the great women in science. I also realize that my boss is much like many of the women in her generation! On another note, it has inspired me to try to perhaps teach a course on Women in Science. Penny, I was wondering if you would share with me any of the course materials you have for your course (syllabus, books, handouts, etc.)? Thanks, Kristina Hi,

We have discussed issues such as this book raises, but it would be good to read them in the context of Marie Curie, an icon for science. I'm sure that my undergraduate students (both men and women) will be interested! I'm teaching a Women in Science course (WST 4931) at Florida State University this semester.
