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.
Story Behind The Book
"A Haunting Conceit" Iain Sinclair
"In this collection of poems and Mini-Sagas, Parry narrates the final journey taken by Caliban from a lesbian wedding in Liverpool, back to a London which does not exist. Along the way, concepts of Anglo-Saxon Witchcraft, Radical Traditionalism and English Ethnicity are discussed as the author unfolds his vision on an endlessly benevolent Spirit World."
