Galvanized by the flagrant favoritism, Hopkins led a group of sixteen women on the faculty in a campaign that prompted MIT to make the historic admission that it had long discriminated against female scientists. The MIT sixteen were formidable in their respective fields: their work has advanced our understanding of everything from cancer to geology, from fossil fuels to the inner workings of the human brain. And their effort to highlight the inequity they observed would set off a national reckoning with the pervasive sexism in science that continues to this day. Written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who broke the story in 1999 for the Boston Globe, The exceptions is the intimate and unforgettable story of Nancy Hopkins--a surprisingly reluctant feminist who became a hero to two generations of women in science." -- Back cover. 600 10 $a Hopkins, Nancy $q (Nancy H.) 610 20 $a Massachusetts Institute of Technology $x Officials and employees. 610 20 $a Massachusetts Institute of Technology $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women biologists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women scientists $z Cambridge. $z Cambridge. 650 0 $a Women in science $z Cambridge $z Cambridge $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women $z Cambridge $z Cambridge $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination in science $z Cambridge. $z Cambridge. 650 0 $a Women college teachers $z Cambridge. $z Cambridge. 650 6 $a Femmes biologistes $z EÌtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Femmes dans les sciences $z Cambridge $z Cambridge $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Discrimination aÌ l'eÌgard des femmes $z Cambridge $z Cambridge $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Discrimination sexuelle dans les sciences $z Cambridge. $z Cambridge. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Science & Technology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Women. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Hopkins, Nancy $q (Nancy H.) $2 fast 610 27 $a Massachusetts Institute of Technology $2 fast 650 7 $a Employees $2 fast 650 7 $a Sex discrimination against women $2 fast 650 7 $a Sex discrimination in science $2 fast 650 7 $a Women biologists $2 fast 650 7 $a Women college teachers $2 fast 650 7 $a Women in science $2 fast 650 7 $a Women scientists $2 fast 651 7 $a Massachusetts $z Cambridge $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999. $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Zernike, Kate. $t Exceptions. $b First Scribner hardcover edition. $d New York : Scribner, 2023 $z 9781982131852 $w (OCoLC)1372890576 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CDFB08E01D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
