Bøger af Erin Zimmerman

"Growing up in rural Ontario, Erin Zimmerman became fascinated with plants--an obsession that led to a life in academia as a professional botanist. But as her career choices narrowed in the face of failing institutions and subtle, but ubiquitous, sexism, Zimmerman began to doubt herself. This is a memoir about plants, about looking at the world with wonder, and about what it means to be a woman in academia--an environment that pushes out mothers and those with any outside responsibilities. Zimmerman delves into her experiences as a new mom, her decision to leave her position in post-graduate research, and how she found a new way to stay in the field she loves."--
