Dr. Marie Maynard Daly received her PhD in Chemistry from Columbia University in        1947. Although she was hardly the first of her race and gender to engage in the        field, she was the first African American woman to receive a PhD in chemistry in the        United States. In this book, Jeannette Brown, an African American woman chemist        herself, will present a wide-ranging historical introduction to the relatively new        presence of African American women in the field of chemistry. It will detail their        struggles to obtain an education and their efforts to succeed in a field in which        there were few African American men, much less African American women.The book        contains sketches of the lives of African America women chemists from the earliest        pioneers up until the late 1960's when the Civil Rights Acts were passed and greater        career opportunities began to emerge. In each sketch, Brown will explore women's        motivation to study the field and detail their often quite significant        accomplishments. Chapters focus on chemists in academia, industry, and government,        as well as chemical engineers, whose career path is very different from that of the        tradition chemist. The book concludes with a chapter on the future of African        American women chemists, which will be of interest to all women interested in        science.
