WOMEN IN MAMMALOGY (1940-1994) - PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES

We present autobiographical accounts of four women mammalogists whose careers collectively span the period of 1940-1994. All are long-term m embers of The American Society of Mammalogists and are actively involv ed in education and mammalogical research. In addition to discussing o ur interactions within the ASM, we discuss important influences in our early decisions to pursue a scientific career, the consequences of su ch decisions, and our subsequent career and family path.
