Giveaway: European Women in Chemistry
The official book of the EuCheMS societies for the International Year of Chemistry, European Women in Chemistry highlights over 50 remarkable women who have been pioneers as women in science and in the vanguard of the development of chemistry. It looks not only at the scientific story, but the personal sacrifices and societal opposition that many of these great women scientists had to overcome to make their mark in the early days of chemistry. Some of them are famous and still well-known, such as Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie. Others have contributed significantly to science and lived an extraordinary life, but are nowadays not remembered. This book covers one of the main topics of the IYC 2011 and is a tribute to all European women in chemistry. The book includes a forward by IUPAC Executive Committee President Nicole Moreau.
