Excellent Mentoring for Minority women Scientists, May 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Engineer from the Comanche Nation, Nancy Wallace (American Women in Science Biography) (Paperback)
This book gives a young woman thinking about a career inscience a chance to see a warm engaging picture of a young nativeamerican woman scientist. Ms. Wallace's early inquisitiveness rings true as a way to identify a potential scientist. When I was a teenager I read a biography of Marie Curie, and I still remember the impact it had on my thinking that I could be a physicist. For Native Americans who have not had a change to know that people of their ethnic background can find a career in the special world of science and engineering, this book can serve as a similar spring board for a budding scientist. I wish there were more books like this to encourage young people of color to consider science and engineering as a career!
