Breaking Through the Spiral Ceiling: An American Woman Becomes a DNA Scientist
Description
Laura Hoopes takes you along as she tries to enter science in the 1960's in the post-Sputnik science education frenzy, only to find doors closed to women. She persists, makes a career of molecular gerontology and insists on making space for marriage and children in her life. This inspiring read says, "Yes, you can," to women who have dreams of their own.

Reviews
<font face="Tahoma">...directly answers the many questions that first-time self-publishers will have...similar books tell you vaguely "what you need to do" as a self-publisher, but not "how to do it". [This book provides] a concrete set of simple steps, without all the waffle. I recommend this book.<br /> - Tony Loton, author, "Book Publishing DIY: The Do It Yourself Guide to Self-Publishing using Lulu and CreateSpace"<br /><br /><br />This book is a gem.<br /> - Jeff Lippincott, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer, Vine Voice<br /><br /></font><font face="Tahoma">Reading this book is a must for the writer who is trying to self publish their work.
