African American Women Chemists

The contributions of scientists from underrepresented populations are often scattered across numerous disparate sources.? This text aims to gather in one source the experiences and accomplishments of pioneering African-American women pioneers in chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering.? A detailed timeline, 1870s to present, highlights important educational and research milestones, and an extensive list of citations allows for further exploration.? In expanding library collections that honor diverse populations in the sciences and engineering, we hope to inspire current and future students.?
