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
In the 2nd of the series of 4 novellas, fierce teen assassin Shevata returns to her home city of Gastar 2 centuries following the end of the prequel "Act of Redemption." Not only does she seek to settle her old score with the evil boy Goldeon, she reflects on her past actions and takes steps to regain her own humanity with a dramatic ending.
