Ruth Okediji's Bio
Margaret Rossiter
Margaret Rossiter is the author of the seminal series Women Scientists in America
http://www.sts.cornell.edu/viewprofile.php?ProfileID=14
Prof. Rossiter has dedicated her career to carefully documenting the existence of discriminatory policies that discouraged women from getting training in and obtaining jobs in science. In the process, she has uncovered many buried stories of the work that women scientists in America have done. Her own career parallels the careers of the women she has studied, since obtaining recognition for her work was a long and difficult task. Her two-volume work on the history of women scientists in America has become the standard work on the topic.
