The exceptions : Nancy Hopkins, MIT, and the fight for women in science / Kate Zernike. by Zernike, Kate. Scribner, 2023. Call #: 509.2 H793z Subjects Hopkins, Nancy (Nancy H.)   Massachusetts Institute of Technology.   Women in science -- Massachusetts -- Cambridge.   Women scientists -- Biography.   Sex discrimination in science -- Biography.   Women -- Education (Higher) -- Massachusetts.   Cambridge (Mass.) ISBN:  9781982131838 (hc.) Edition:  1st Scribner hardcover ed. Description:  xvi, 409 p., 8 unnumbered pages of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Kate Zernike has been a reporter for The New York Times since 2000. She was a member of the team that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for stories about al-Qaeda before and after the 9/11 terror attacks. She was previously a reporter for The Boston Globe, where she broke the story of MIT’s admission that it had discriminated against women on its faculty, on which The Exceptions is based. The daughter and granddaughter of scientists, she is a graduate of Trinity College at the University of Toronto and the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and sons. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (page 371-392) and index. Summary:  "In 1999, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology admitted to discriminating against its most senior female scientists. It was a seismic cultural event -- one that forced institutions across the nation to reckon with the bias faced by girls and women in STEM. 'The Exceptions' is the story of the women on MIT's faculty who started it all, centered on the life and career of their unlikely leader: Nancy Hopkins, a noted molecular geneticist and cancer researcher and protégée of James Watson, the codiscoverer of the structure of DNA."-- From dust jacket.
