Product Information

A riveting 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. If you think sexism thrives only on Wall Street or in Hollywood, you haven't visited a lab, a science department, a research foundation, or a biotech firm. Rita Colwell is one of the top scientists in America: the groundbreaking microbiologist who discovered how cholera survives between epidemics and the former head of the National Science Foundation. But when she first applied for a graduate fellowship in bacteriology, she was told, "We don't waste fellowships on women." A lack of support from some male superiors would lead her to change her area of study six times before completing her PhD. A Lab of One's Own documents all Colwell has seen and heard over her six decades in science, from sexual harassment in the lab to obscure systems blocking women from leading professional organizations or publishing their work. Along the way, she encounters other women pushing back against the status quo, including a group at MIT who revolt when they discover their labs are a fraction of the size of their male colleagues'. Resistance gave female scientists special gifts: forced to change specialties so many times, they came to see things in a more interdisciplinary way, which turned out to be key to making new discoveries in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Colwell would also witness the advances that could be made when men and women worked together--often under her direction, such as when she headed a team that helped to uncover the source of the anthrax used in the 2001 letter attacks. A Lab of One's Own shares the sheer joy a scientist feels when moving toward a breakthrough, and the thrill of uncovering a whole new generation of female pioneers. But it is also the science book for the #MeToo era, offering an astute diagnosis of how to fix the problem of sexism in science--and a celebration of the women pushing back.

Reviews
"Beautifully written... as much a call to arms as it is autobiography. An unforgettable tell-all that's rife with details of insurrection, scientific breakthrough, and overcoming the odds." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "[A] beautifully written memoir....Colwell's grit and brilliance shine through on every page of the book, which is as much a call to arms as it is autobiography....An unforgettable tell-all that's rife with details of insurrection, scientific breakthrough, and overcoming the odds." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "A refreshingly candid story of how the tenacity and grit of one of the world's great scientists enabled her to overcome prejudice and push back cultural and bureaucratic barriers to transform a research field that saves lives and open doors for other women in science." - Dr. Neal Lane, former chancellor of the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, "In this, an era of changing climate and sweeping epidemics, we need great scientists more than ever. Yet for generations, women scientists have been under-funded, condescended to, denied jobs and lab space, and robbed of recognition for their discoveries and contributions. Rita Colwell has been a leader in the fight to change all that. You will be riveted by the true story of how she and other women scientists methodically undertook to challenge biases and dismantle barriers, using the classic tools of their discipline: facts, data, measurement, and the persistence to try and try and try yet again." - Liza Mundy, New York Times bestselling author of Code Girls : The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II, " A Lab of One's Own is both a human and a humane story... wonderfully readable for scientists and non-scientists alike." - Dr. Hilary Lappin-Scott, OBE, former president of the Society for General Microbiology, "Colwell's behind-closed-doors accounts of seismic events - the Deep Horizon oil spill, anthrax bioterrorism attacks, cholera pandemics, Title IX legislation, and MIT's discrimination against women scientists, to name a few - will inspire generations of scientists to advance knowledge for the greater good." - Dr. Michele Swanson, former president of the American Society for Microbiology, "Colwell's forthright memoir is an inspiring read for women embarking on a career or experiencing career challenges. The book is also a must-read for those in higher education seeking to support women in S.T.E.M." - Library Journal (starred review), "With her characteristic wit, Rita Colwell has produced a compelling portrait of a better future for science and instructions for how to achieve it." - Dr. Jo Handelsman, director of the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, "A great read and a profound commentary on the challenges that women in academic science have faced." - Dr. Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Prize Winner, professor of molecular and cell biology and of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, "A great read and a profound commentary on the challenges that women in academic science have faced." - Dr. Jennifer Doudna, professor of molecular and cell biology and of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, "A fascinating account, full of detail about the crises solved under Rita Colwell's leadership, among them the fight against cholera and the Anthrax scare during the early part of this century." - Dr. France Anne Córdova, former director of the National Science Foundation and former president of Purdue University, "[A] beautifully written memoir....Colwell's grit and brilliance shine through on every page of the book, which is as much a call to arms as it is autobiography....An unforgettable tell-all that's rife with details of insurrection, scientific breakthrough, and overcoming the odds." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Colwell's forthright memoir is an inspiring read for women embarking on a career or experiencing career challenges. The book is also a must-read for those in higher education seeking to support women in S.T.E.M." -- Library Journal, "A terrific adventure story through the world of science: overcoming the bad guys, forging teams to fight battles, and doing the right thing when needed... Rita Colwell's rousing memoir is an inspiration." - Dr. Ben Shneiderman, professor of computer science at the University of Maryland, College Park
