Letting 18 prominent black women scientists talk for themselves, Sisters in Science becomes an oral history stretching across decades and disciplines and desires. From Yvonne Clark, the first black woman to be awarded a B.S. in mechanical engineering to Georgia Dunston, a microbiologist who is researching the genetic code for her race, to Shirley Jackson, whose aspiration led to the presidency of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Jordan has created a significant record of women who persevered to become firsts in many of their fields. It all began for Jordan when she was asked to give a presentation on black women scientists. She found little information and little help. After almost nine years of work, the stories of black women scientists can finally be told.</div> Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Category214" TITLE="Black History Month Featured Items">Black History Month Featured Items</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product4366 TITLE="Celebrating Black Women's History Poster">Celebrating Black Women's History Poster</A> -- Celebrating Black Women's History Poster <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product5118 TITLE="Ida In Her Own Words">Ida In Her Own Words</A> -- Ida In Her Own Words <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product4814 TITLE="Warriors Don't Cry">Warriors Don't Cry</A> -- A Story of Moving History Forward <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product4594 TITLE="When Marian Sang">When Marian Sang</A> -- WHEN MARIAN SANG <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product4709 TITLE="African American Knowledge Cards">African American Knowledge Cards</A> -- African American Women Knowledge cards <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product4440 TITLE="Game:Harriet Tubman">Game:Harriet Tubman</A> -- GAME:HARRIET TUBMAN <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product4832 TITLE="Mahalia Jackson">Mahalia Jackson</A> -- Mahalia Jackson: Gospel Singer and Civil Rights Champion <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp/Product4738 TITLE="Adventurous Women">Adventurous Women</A> -- Eight True Stories About Women Who Made a Difference <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/nwhp" TITLE="National Women's History Project Products">National Women's History Project Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.nwhp.org">National Women's History Project</A> National Women's History Project <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
