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
Until I was 5 years old, I thought my mother was my sister and I thought my grandparents were my parents. At the age of 10 I met my father for the first time. I struggled with my identity for years and with the stressors involved with being transported from parent to parent. The issues that I had carried right over to adulthood. However, God brought me through these trials and wanted me to share them with others who may need encouraging due to similar situations. We are only able to inspire and encourage via life's experiences.
