[Wism-l] Be the change

[Flora Grabowska]

what a great idea!  I could lend a display copy 
of Unbowed by Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan woman 
scientist who absolutely embodies the idea of Be 
the Change.   She founded the Green Belt 
movement.  In fact, I'm sure I could round up a 
few books to display featuring women in science.
