Dear Sonia: Thank you for always being a remarkable role model for all of us. Georgie
I occasionally pay attention to the google doodles, and have appreciated the women-in-science series. Thanks for sharing the information about Maria Mitchell's fight for fair pay at Vassar. Still an issue in many places!
Hi Dee,
Yes, at Goucher we had a lot of women in bio, and two men. And no women in physics. The chair of chem was a woman, Belle Otto. The rest were all men until I was about to graduate, when they hired Brownlee, a biochemist. Times were a-changin!
cheers,
Laura

Geez, and Vassar was a women's college at the time. When we were in college, they (I hope) must have been fairer to women because we had a lot of women profs in science. Well, not in physics, but in bio. And one, or was it two in chemistry? Anyway, it was not just one woman against the world!
cheers,
