Her personal history of this remarkable era of biomedical science is a \"must read\" for anyone - males, females, scientists and non-scientists - curious about the process of scientific discovery and progress toward gender equity. Her account shows how science is shaped by deep commitment and insights, complex human interactions, and public policy.\u003cbr\u003e --Barbara Sollner-Webb.

To her credit, this historian speaks forthrightly; while her research clearly has been a source of deep joy, she also exposes the institutional problems (including sexism). Her inclusion of selected material from a personal journal she kept over the years is a welcome addition to a book that offers a fresh perspective to scientists as well as non-scientists, men as well as women.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Evelyn Torton Beck, Professor Emerita, \u003cbr\u003e Women's Studies, University of Maryland\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 404\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 28, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47614723686653,"sku":"9781480832107","price":42.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/SmVGNTFGWE5YNGdWWjdMUXd0ZUNRdz09.webp?v=1780188763","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/american-science-my-view-from-the-bench-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
