‘Outstanding’ Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in
Chemistry The remarkable untold story of how a group of sixteen
determined women used the power of the collective and the tools of
science to inspire ongoing radical change. This is a triumphant
account of progress, whilst reminding us that further action is
needed. These women scientists entered the work force in the 1960s
during a push for affirmative action. Embarking on their careers
they thought that discrimination against women was a thing of the
past and that science was a pure meritocracy. Women were
marginalized and minimized, especially as they grew older, their
contributions stolen and erased. Written by the Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist who broke the story in 1999 for The Boston
Globe, when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made the
astonishing admission that it discriminated against women on its
faculty, The Exceptions is an intimate narrative which centres on
Nancy Hopkins – a surprisingly reluctant feminist who became a
hero to two generations of women in science. In uncovering an
erased history, we are finally introduced to the hidden scientists
who paved the way for collective change.
