Beschreibung

<b>‘Outstanding’ Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of <i>Lessons in Chemistry</i></b><br><br><b>The remarkable untold story of how a group of sixteen determined women used the power of the collective and the tools of science to inspire ongoing radical change. This is a triumphant account of progress, whilst reminding us that further action is needed.</b><br><br> These women scientists entered the work force in the 1960s during a push for affirmative action. Embarking on their careers they thought that discrimination against women was a thing of the past and that science was a pure meritocracy. Women were marginalized and minimized, especially as they grew older, their contributions stolen and erased.<br><br> Written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who broke the story in 1999 for <i>The Boston Globe</i>, when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made the astonishing admission that it discriminated against women on its faculty, <i>The Exceptions </i>is an intimate narrative which centres on Nancy Hopkins – a surprisingly reluctant feminist who became a hero to two generations of women in science.<br><br> In uncovering an erased history, we are finally introduced to the hidden scientists who paved the way for collective change.
