520    A memoir-manifesto from the first female director of the 
       National Science Foundation about the entrenched sexism in
       science, the elaborate detours women have taken to bypass 
       the problem, and how to fix the system. 
520    Colwell, the first female director of the National Science
       Foundation, discusses the entrenched sexism in science, 
       the elaborate detours women have taken to bypass the 
       problem, and how to fix the system. When she first applied
       for a graduate fellowship in bacteriology, she was told, 
       "We don't waste fellowships on women." Over her six 
       decades in science, as she encounters other women pushing 
       back against the status quo, Colwell also witnessed the 
       advances that could be made when men and women worked 
       together. Here she offers an astute diagnosis of how to 
       fix the problem of sexism in science-- and a celebration 
       of the women pushing back.-- adapted from jacket
