About

I'm a recently retired University Communication professor.  My husband and I moved to Illinois from Louisiana where I promptly began blogging and writing mysteries--something I had wanted to do but never had the time to do.  My two grown children are on their own, so Hubby and I are empty-nesters.

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.
